Xcode Beta Simulator on Mac OS Ventura Often Needs to Restart

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.

macOS 13.5 (22G74) xCode 14.3.1 (14E300c)

Have the same problem. Need to restart Simulator every project run.

UPD: when try to quit Simulator to relaunch it it fails with error:

Details

The operation couldn’t be completed. (Mach error -308 - (ipc/mig) server died)
Domain: NSMachErrorDomain
Code: -308
User Info: {
    DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2023-08-08 08:15:21 +0000";
    IDERunOperationFailingWorker = IDELaunchiPhoneSimulatorLauncher;
}

Still no fix? I have the same problem on Xcode 15.4 and my new M3 Max MacBook... I can't believe I've spent so much money and this is the standard
