Xcode 12.0 simulators have daemon crashes at both startup and shutdown. Xcode 12.0.1 supposedly fixed a crash bug with documentation, but broke the ability to download old simulators, and the default iOS 14 simulators still crash. Now, Xcode 12.1 GM has been released, and it's like nobody has fixed anything. They just added iOS 14.1 support. The simulator daemons still crash. And the simulator downloads are still broken.
Is anybody at Apple even using actually Xcode? I know I sound like I'm ranting, but this is basic stability stuff. Crashing simulators means I can't have a stable automated test set up because all the crash windows keep piling up. Inability to access older simulators means I have to keep reverting to Xcode 12.0 to get them.
I have submitted bug reports for both the simulator crashes and the missing simulator downloads, complete with sysdiagnose reports. I know Apple's engineers are overwhelmed, and I don't envy the weight upon their shoulders. But how can they expect us developers to rely on Xcode right now? What has happened to Apple's quality? It's like they've become Microsoft. Please, please, stop adding features and just fix the bugs. At this point I'm absolutely terrified to upgrade to Big Sur when it gets released, let alone Xcode 12.2.
Perhaps Apple should consider open-sourcing Xcode so that the rest of us can help fix things and get Xcode back to a stable form.
