MacBook Pro 13' 2018 Experiences Crashes and Lag Running VisionOS Preview/Simulator

Hi! Just got Xcode 15-beta and VisionOS SDK installed and tried to run the "hello world" program. As my device got extremely slow, the preview crashed a couple times and is barely usable. I tried running the simulator, it took a long time to load and the interaction with the simulated VisionOS was very slow.

I understand it was quite an outdated device and I just want to know if it's something Apple could work on in the future updates OR it is an indicator to get a latest model?

Thank you.

Hi, there are a couple known issues with the visionOS simulator on Intel Macs, so hopefully stability should improve in future seeds. If you are encountering any issues, please file bug reports on Feedback Assistant.

  • Is it normal for the termperature on a 16GB mini to max out? Whenever I run the simulator or simply run even the template "Hello World" starter project for vOS, my temp goes up 98-100C

  • Yeah I’ve seen similar behavior on my 2020 intel MBP.
