VisionOS 1.0 beta 1 Simulator "Not compatible with XCode 15.0 beta 2"

I have already faced the issue twice. It also occurs with the iOS simulator. I fixed it in a rather simple way - by rebooting my Mac.

Sadly after several reboots, I don't get the same joy. Anybody else run into this, or had other resolutions?

I have updated to Xcode 15.0 beta 3, and yet still get the same error with the re-downloaded visionOS 1.0 beta 1 Simulator. If anybody has some idea as to why this is, I'd very much appreciate some insight. I'm curious if the fact that I live in Switzerland, there is some regional block. Anybody outside of the US or even more specifically, in Switzerland encountered this issue?

Hello. Could you please file us a bug using Feedback Assistant, so we can investigate why the installation of visionOS simulator failed.

Please don't copy the simulator runtimes but instead leave them in your Downloads folder. We updated the documentation to clarify this:

Install Simulator runtimes from the Apple Developer website

Starting with Xcode 15, you can select the platforms you want to include with Xcode when you download it from Apple Developer website. Click View Details next to the version of Xcode you want to download to view the list of available platforms and the download link. Select the checkbox next to the platforms you plan to develop for and then click the link to begin your download. On first launch, the new Xcode installs the additional Simulator runtime images from your downloads folder. Don’t move the images or manifest file, doing so can interfere with the installation.

Also, you call simctl on the downloaded .dmg to add the simulator runtime manually. That is a safer workflow that also performs code signing verification. The command would be:

xcrun simctl runtime add <pathTo/platform_simulator_runtime.dmg>

Manually copying the .simruntime into the intended location for installation is an unsupported workflow.

Thank you for your reply. I am currently adding a bug report using the feedback assistant.

Regarding using the command:

xcrun simctl runtime add ~/Downloads/visionOS_1_beta_Simulator_Runtime.dmg

for manual installation, I had tried this in the past, and have done so once again. Here is the output from the terminal:

objc[43855]: Class DTXDecompressionException is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTXConnectionServices.framework/Versions/A/DTXConnectionServices (0x1f678c8e0) and /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DTXConnectionServices.framework/Versions/A/DTXConnectionServices (0x1028a3630). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

And the result in Xcode Settings:

Have you tried just downloading the Beta without any additional simulators and then allowing it to download and install the simulators itself?

As of Version 15.0 beta 6 (15A5219j), visionOS 1.0 beta 2 Simulator now works!
