Hi,

I have macOS 14 Sonoma beta 2 (build 23A5276g) running in a VM powered by Virtualization.framework with Xcode 15 beta 2 (build 15A5161b) installed. My host machine is an M1 MacBook Air running macOS Ventura 13.4.1. The iOS and iPadOS simulators work fine. However, when I launch the visionOS simulator from Xcode, all I get is a blank screen. Would anyone be able to help with this?

I also noticed that when the visionOS simulator is open, none of the other simulators work. However, as soon as I close the visionOS simulator, everything else starts working again.

Thanks!

Hi, I don't think this is really a use case that is thoroughly tested or supported. If you're able to capture a sysdiagnose in the VM and attach that to a bug report, someone might be able to take a look.

Instead of Virtualization, I went with the dual-boot option. I need to run production releases of Ventura and Xcode in order to support my apps in the AppStore - but I wanted to begin work on my VisionOS app too. This setup works like a charm for me...

Exact same situation for me, using Parallels on M1 Mac mini host. Xcode sits perpetually spinning blue circles "Launching World", "Installing World", "Attaching to World on Apple Vision Pro". Same with a trivial default New Project for VisionOS. Trivial default project for iPhone both Preview and Runs, although curiously the Globe and Hello World appear only in Preview, not on the iPhone simulator itself (blank white screen there)
