Until two days ago, Xcode and simulators were working perfectly fine. I turned the computer off and some software updates got installed, including macOS Catalina). I am now unable to launch Simulator. It's for any device, it simply doesn't open the application. All I see is "simulator quit uenxpectedly"
I've also noticed that Simulator and processors keep themselves alive no matter how many times I quit them or kill them from command line:
com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService
Simulator
I found similar posts, but they are at least three years old and got a /DeviceTypes folder withing /Developer which I don't.
I have tried different approaches, including:
- Deleting DerivedData folder
- Deleting /Library/Developer/Xcode folder
- Updating Xcode to 11.1
- Usinng Xcode 10.3, where the command line tools are actually incompatible with Catalina OS.
- Reinstalling Xcode, restarting my machine at every step of the deletion and reinstallation
- Deleting CoreSimulator folder
- The following commands in terminal:
sudo killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService
sudo killall -10 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService
xcrun simctl erase all
fastlane snapshot reset_simulators
Here's a part of the crash report. I can provide the full logs if needed:Searched for the the exception types annd codes, and all I found was for real devices, not simulators.
Any help is appreciated, as I am losing serious time with this issue.
