A workaround that so far seems to be working for me is to replace embeddedBinaryValidationUtility with a no-op shell script. I'm not sure what this validation is exactly meant to do but for regular dev builds to the simulator and at least in the (very large) project I work with daily, it seems we can live without it. cd /Applications/Xcode-16.2.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin mv embeddedBinaryValidationUtility embeddedBinaryValidationUtility-copy cat <<EOF > embeddedBinaryValidationUtility #!/bin/bash exit 0 EOF chmod +x embeddedBinaryValidationUtility
