On our Continuous Integration we use `sudo xcode-select` to switch Xcode versions frequently. Historically, we've had issues like this with `actool` during compilation:
```
Build failed: Command failed with exit code 255. stderr: When running <actool>. When building rule //libraries/foo/Foo#apple-asset-catalog,apple-test-bundle,dwarf,no-linkermap.
```
(the error comes from buck but the important part is that `actool` returns an exit code of 255).
We've fixed this in the past by killing `CoreSimulatorService` after switching Xcode. This is because for some reason, `actool` needs to communicate with the simulator (maybe over XPC?) and if you've recently switched Xcode versions, you might need to kill `CoreSimulatorService` before it will start working correctly.
However this year with Xcode 10, the issue has surfaced again.
The only fix I could find was converting the asset catalog that it was trying to compile to just normal PNG files. That restored stability to our CI, but we also were seeing this:

The "already shutdown" part makes me think that this is also simulator related.
Other than killing the `CoreSimulatorService` process, what else could I try that might help reset the simulator state here? Seeing these issues with Xcode 10 final release.
