I installed Xcode 14.2 (in parallel with other versions of Xcode with different names) on MBP MacOS 12.6.2.

Il works OK except when trying to use WatchOS simulator.

When I select a WatchOS target and then look for simulator, none is installed. I get an item in menu proposing to GET 9.1.

I downloaded.

But at the end of download, installation failed with the message that installation of watchOS 9.1 simulator runtime failed in CoreSimulator.

I tried the solution proposed here, to no avail. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74096242/unable-to-select-device-for-watchos-app-in-xcode

Note: installation on an iMac running 12.6.2 and Xcode 14.2 shows a long list of simulators:

I deleted Xcode 14.2, rebooted the Mac, reinstalled Xcode.

It probably cleaned something and installation succeeded. I now get the same simulator list as on iMac…

Is there another explanation for the initial problem ?

Note: the first simulator download failed.
