The issue persists. Drained the laptop battery overnight. I have filed a feedback with the sysdiagnose file. How can I know how and when the issue has a solution ?

Force quitting all *poster processes , helps resolve the issue for some time.

Problem still persists in Xcode 15 RC.

This is still not fixed in Xcode 15. This is a know issue. The root of these Simulator memory issues are entitlements. There is also high CPU usage for the same reason. https://federated.saagarjha.com/notice/AZvHeDBVoEaxOXhCgi https://mastodon.social/@chockenberry/111177139137676509

The run time can still be manually added though : https://lickability.com/blog/how-to-install-ios-17-simulators-in-xcode-15/

Boggling how long this issue has persisted. If someone leaves Xcode running while the MacBook is on a charger overnight , the MacBook is going to be toast by morning

When adding a reference folder , Reference files in place option works with Create Folders , then changing the Build Rules option the to Apply once for folder in the File Inspector settings for the folder I am adding. Toggling the Build Rules removes the target in the Target Membership , re-add it. The Xcode 16 Release Notes mention a toggling a “Build Folder Contents” option in documentation , however I can't find this .
