Macbook Air M1, get the error in Xcode 12.4:

Could not download and install IOS 12.0 Simulator. Failed to download package from ADC. There are no valid accounts registered with Xcode that have the ability to access this resource. Contact Apple Developer Program Support to resolve account access issues.

I have never had this error on the previous Xcode and Macbook on intel chip. Please can you tell me how to solve it.

Ensure you're signed in to your Apple Developer account in Xcode's Preferences window. If you are and still receive this message, then follow-up on the error as directed and contact the Developer Program support team about your account access issue.

I experiencing the same thing. "Could not download and install iOS 14.0 Simulator. The request timed out." It's been going on for days. I was able to download 13.0, but that might have just been momentary luck.

There is an answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/29111012 that worked for other, but not for me.

However, after manually creating the Downloads folder

~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads

I went back to Xcode and it started downloading the simulator. Please check if this works for you as well.

I tried to open with sudo from the terminal. Though the download started but in after almost 60% of downloading the same error occurred. That happened a couple of times. This was frustrating really, it consumed a lot of time plus no result. Please look into this kind of issues team

  1. use speedwagon to download simulator runtime

https://github.com/timsutton/speedwagon

  1. follow the doc, use xcrun simctl runtime add to install dmg

In my case I am facing the following issue:

Failed with HTTP status 400: bad request
Domain: DataGatheringNSURLSessionDelegate

I solved it by deleting the files from ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads folder.
