Save Screen Shot crash

With the latest release of Xcode 8.2 (8C38) on El Capitan 10.11.6 attempting to Save Screen Shot (⌘S) now results in a consistent crash across projects:


"Simulator quit unexpectedly while using the libswiftFoundation.dylib plug-in."


I'm not seeing this when running on my machine with Sierra 10.12.2, but updating this work machine with Sierra is not yet an option.


Is anyone else able to reproduce this?

Did you reset the simulator?

Edited message.


Sometimes seeing it with 8C38 on 10.11.6.

I am seeing same problem on 10.11.6 with Xcode 8.2. Highly annoying.

I have the same problem, any fix for this?

Yes, I can reproduce, also El Capitan 10.11.6 and Xcode 8.2

I also have the same problem on exactly the same version (EL Capitan 10.11.6 and XCode 8.2).

Anyone know if it works on Sierra? Was thinking of upgrading.

Yes here having the same problem, just updated XCode on El Capitan and now the screenshot on the simualtor crashes. I've read the XCode 8.2 release notes and they mention this:

Known Issues

  • Simulator can crash when saving a screenshot when running on OS X El Capitan. (29182710)
  • The crash does not occur on macOS Sierra.


[rant]This is great, I come to realise I spent lot of time updating software on my working machine. Every time I have updated OS or XCode it has been something that stopped working. Why does Apple like to make us developers suffer? I don't see casual users or designers complaining that much about it, but us developers, we are either more grumpy than others or Apple really hate us.[/rant]

Workaround for Simulator crash from Save Screen Shot command in the File menu: Use the Copy Screen command in the Edit menu (Control Command C), then open Preview and choose New from Clipboard (Command N), then choose Save to save the screenshot (Command S).

Brilliant! Works well. Really didn't want to upgrade everything to Sierra before submitting to App Store. Thank you!
