Swift UI Preview Crash

When I say the Preview Crash - I mean the UI displays a black screen, red X, and the prompt of "Preview Crash". It is not breaking on trying to build the preview but when running the preview via the "play" button.

Howdy,

Sorry to hear you are having problems getting previews working. Crash logs for the preview app will show up in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/. It can sometimes take a few minutes for it to generate, so give it a bit time and then see if any are there. Hopefully that will give you some helpful hints on what is causing the crash.
Based upon your description of the situation I am guessing that the preview version of the app has some stale app data (perhaps an old version of a CoreData container that doesn't have migration support to the current version?). To start from a fresh slate you can use the terminal app and run xcrun simctl --set previews delete all.

If that still doesn't resolve issue then probably best next step will be to file a feedback with diagnostics.
We will need the diagnostics Xcode Previews generates in order to make sure we understand the error the previews system is encountering.

1. When you get an error in Xcode Previews, an error banner appears in the canvas

2. Click the "Diagnostics" button in that banner

3. In the sheet that appears, click "Generate Report" in the bottom left of the sheet

4. Attach (or make from the folder) the resulting zip file to the bug (will be named something like previews-diagnostics-0123456789.zip)

Thanks for the response!

The terminal command did not fix the issue.

Unfortunately there is no banner that appears when I click the play button above the device preview. The preview just goes to an all black screen with a red circle and x with the words "Preview Crashed".

For clarity this is only effecting the live preview

Hi friend, I managed to fix the problem for my self. Have you tried to change the preview device? If that doesn't work try restarting xcode and then changing the preview device.
It worked for me.
Hope it worked for you too.

Try to comment out the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method in AppDelegate , hope this should fix the issue . you application may be referring to external frameworks !!

Has a fix been found for this? Facing the same issue currently.

I am having the same problem with Preview crashing, but not on all files. However, I actually get a crash screen with OK/Reopen. It's a fairly standard Login screen with AppAuth 1.4.0 from package.

Would be thankful for any help as it is painful to run up app in simulator for UI changes.
