Hello team, On Xcode 14.1, After building the project and when the simulator launches, it shows blank black screen. Here steps to reproduce:

  1. build the project with fresh device. Try changing the language to French in device settings
  2. Device should launch in French language. Instead, it loads and goes blank (blank screen)
  3. Quit the simulator (XPC error is displayed) and rebuild the project using the same simulator device.
  4. Build succeeds and simulator launches, but has blank screen on simulator.
  5. Xcode is stuck at "Launching Application"

Is this a known issue? Has anyone experienced the same? How can I fix this? Stack (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74315983/xcode-stuck-on-launching-application) says its a bug, so posting here for recommendations

I can confirm that removing the Rosetta option from the Xcode.app solves the problem

Of course only if you have a M1 or M2 Mac (time for a change ???) In addition it compiles much faster!

Kudos to the community

Issue still happens on ventura 13.2 + xcode 14.2, in rosetta mode and in non-rosetta mode. Re-login apps in the terminal and restart the machine doesn't help.

@apple pls help
