Hi everyone,

I've just started the 100 days with Swift course and was messing around on Xcode when I got a pop up stating that SimulatorTrampoline.xpc wanted access to files on the desktop. I wasn't running any simulators at the time and wasn't sure what this was so I denied access.

However, I've now discovered that as per Apple's own instructions I should have clicked 'allow'.

I can't figure out how to allow access now and is this something that's going to cause problems down the line?

Appreciate any help, thank you!

It should be fine. I once denied it from modifying my applications but everything still works. In a future update you may be notified to allow access.

From now on, allow access to prevent problems which could occur in the future.

Hope this helps

If you accidentally denied SimulatorTrampoline to directories, you can explicitly set the permission back by following the instructions below.

Find SimulatorTrampoline.xpc in Finder. (A quick way to do this is to open Finder and type SimulatorTrampoline.xpc into the search bar.)

Open Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access. Unlock to make changes. Drop the SimulatorTrampoline.xpc to apps area (it will be invisible). Quit SimulatorTrampoline.xpc if needed.

Now all permissions are set. You can try to use simulator again.

Hope this helps. :)
