After the latest update today, I keep getting Spotlight crashes:

Code Block text
Process:               Spotlight [1045]
Path:                  /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/Applications/Spotlight.app/Spotlight
Identifier:            Spotlight
Version:               1.0 (1)
Code Type:             X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process:        launchd_sim [795]
Responsible:           SimulatorTrampoline [608]

Date/Time:             2020-09-16 17:41:37.406 -0300
OS Version:            Mac OS X 10.15.6 (19G2021)
Report Version:        12
Bridge OS Version:     4.6 (17P6610)
Anonymous UUID:        260183B2-AF37-5945-6F4E-5B564D139345

Appears to be related to the Simulator, which I have to use constantly during development. This is quickly getting annoying.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?

This is a Mac Mini 2018.

Same issue for me.

  • macOS Catalina 10.15.6

  • xcode 12.0.1

  • Macbook Pro 15" 2017 with 3.1ghz i7 and 16gb 2133mhz LPDDR3.

When I use the preview-feature in SwiftUI, or run the simulator, fans start to run full speed until Spotlight eventually crashes. If I restart spotlight it just keeps crashing every once in a while.

Still a problem. Particularly when I use the canvas preview in SwiftUI.

Same here, every time I open iOS simulator, this problem appears.

I was having the same issue. I thought that removing and reading the simulators would help, it didn't

  1. Open Xcode

  2. Expand the simulator list

  3. Click "Add additional Simulators"

  4. Delete all the simulators from the list

  5. Close and reopen Xcode

  6. Expand the simulator list

  7. Click "Add additional Simulators"

  8. Click the "+" to add each Simulator back

And on top of spotlight crashing, the simulator is EXTREMELY SLOOOWWWWW

This is making it really hard to work on my apps :(
