iOS Simulator just hangs on spinner &/or apple logo

Recently, I think since I updated XCode, my iOS Simulator no longer opens "as expected". It can take 5 minutes or more. It just sits on the loading spinner &/or apple logo for a very long time....sometimes over 15 minutes.

I have tried deleting & reinstalling, but no change. I have tried restarting.

Typically, I use Expo to develop in React Native and they have a built in CLI which starts their dev server & opens your simulator of choice. I can't rely on this.

I also try opening manually via Spotlight &/or open -a Simulator prior to running my Expo app. But this also does not solve my issue. I also tried to "reset" the simulator with sudo killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService command

Is there anything wrong with my version? Are there other updates I can make?

Simulator details:

Version 13.3.1 (977.2)
SimulatorKit 618
CoreSimulator 802.6

Macbook details:

iOS 12.3.1 (21E258)
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Attached is a crash report .

I am experiencing the same issue. Did you get this resolved?
