Xcode 16 Beta 2 Simulator Issue

I had Xcode 16 Beta 1 installed and working.

Installed Xcode 16 beta 2 (16A5171r) and now it is unable to download the simulator for that version.

I'm not sure if the timing was just coincidental, but I had the same problem and after I quit & re-opened Xcode I was able to download the iOS Simulator.

Thanks. I gave it another try today and the download was successful.

Same issue with Xcode 16 beta 3, and iOS 18 beta 3 download.

I was able to download directly: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/

and add to Xcode via terminal:

xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app
xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
xcrun simctl runtime add "~/Downloads/iOS_18_beta_3_Simulator_Runtime.dmg"
