Xcode 12.5 beta 2 no network/internet with Simulator

I'm having the same problem :(

I also have the identical issue. Are you all using a silicon Mac?

I have the same issue.
Apple silicon MacBook pro (m1)
For AppStore's version unstoppable circle loading...
Tried to use 12.5 beta 2.
Doesn't work the network.

Guys try to use the simulator with iOS 14.0.
It should work. But canvas for swiftUI has the same issue. And I don't know how to resolve it.

Same issue here, Mac Mini M1 :-/

I see the same issue on an Intel 16" MBP, it's not M1 specific.

The release notes list this as a Known Issue under Simulator

You can’t log into iCloud on a simulated device running iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5, tvOS 14.5, or watchOS 7.4. (74295005)

Actually, not exactly the same as OP, but related, and also how I stumbled on the issue. Please file a Feedback. One of my recent ones was in the Resolved section.


I can now confirm that loading iOS 14.4 simulator runtime with 12.5 Beta 2 does have network connection.

Same issue here! The problem only happens on Simulator using iOS 14.5, other versions are fine.

mcOS Big Sur 11.1, Macbook Pro 2019 and mcOS Big Sur 11.1, Macbook Pro 2018

Having the same issue. Building on devices is fine.
MacBook Pro 15'' 2019
Xcode 12.5. On an iOS 14.5 simulator application is not able to make any network calls.
Other iOS versions on the Simulators are fine.

I'm having the same problem.

Using imageUrl pointing to a generic https: .... .jpg file here is an example code which fails in current 14.5 simulator (it actually never returns w/ data or error code but sometimes times out on console) but works in 14.4 simulator. A lot of things should be broken in 14.5 if low level functionality like this fails.

Code Block 
             URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: imageUrl as URL) { data, response, error in
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    if let data = data {
                        if let image = UIImage(data: data as Data) {
                        }
                    }
                }
            }.resume()
- or -
            let downloadQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "fab.image", attributes: .concurrent)
            downloadQueue.async() {
                let data = NSData(contentsOf: imageUrl as URL)
                if data != nil {
                    if let image = UIImage(data: data! as Data) {
                    }
                }
            }  

Also running into the same issue here on Xcode-beta 2 and iOS 14.5 simulators, seems like all network calls are failing.

the same problem here

My colleagues and I have seen the same problem on x86 MBP's. No network activity works on iOS 14.5 under simulator. Mobile Safari is unable to connect to any website http or https.

Any workarounds?

Following this thread (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/674277?answerId=662833022#662833022), it appears that this is a 14.5 simulator bug. Running iOS 14.5 on an actual device should work fine, in case this helps anyone.
