Hi,


does anyone happens to know if XCode 7 runs on macOS 10.12 alongside with XCode 8 Beta?

From the Xcode 8 Release Notes:

Installation

Xcode 8 beta can coexist with previous versions of Xcode.

Just remember that Xcode will make modifications to existing projects that will prohibit (re)opening them in Xcode 7.x, so always have a tested and reliable backup in place, and only work on copies of production apps w/Xcode 8b, until it reaches release version.

I'm able to use it, except I can't get the simulator to work.

I have this problem also, with the error:


DTAssetProviderService could not start DTXConnection with Simulator 'iPhone 6s'. Check the system log for errors.


Investigating the system log, I have these xcode-relevant messages:

I get the same error as well.

The app actually still builds and you can run it manually from the device but isn't connected to Xcode which is the big problem.
