Noticing that the simulator is often in some state that requires it to Quit and restart it.

I often do this:

  • CMD+R to run.
  • Make changes.
  • CMD+R to run (overwrite the existing session).

The app (kinda) quits, but the screen is completely black. Like the app hasn't completely quit.

The result is that Xcode just constantly says "Launching [App]...". And I have to quit the simulator.

I had the same problem, to fix this you have to grant full disk access to Xcode by System Preferences > Privacy > Full Disk Access.

The same here. M1 2020, Ventura 13.2 with Xcode 14.0.1 and 14.2 (on both the same issue). Apple, please do something!

This is happening to me too! On the official Ventura Release and Xcode 14.1. Did you manage to fix it? can you please take it seriously, it's very annoying for developers, and I don't think Apple Corp. doesn't have developers to resolve that issue. Please try to understand.

  1. Download XCode from AppStore
  2. sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
  3. sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

Then everything started working fine.

Same issue (Ventura 13.3, XCode 14.3), cannot launch any iOS 16 simulators at all - they all come up blank and never start.

I can launch iOS 15.2 simulators, but cannot get debugger to attach to code running in them so kinda useless for debugging.

This is super annoying and has been going on for a long time. How come nobody from Apple can see that this is a serious issue?

Apple, please, prioritise this issue: It is slowing down the developing/debugging process.

Thanks!
