Xcode 8.3.2 CI doesn't find any Simulator Devices

Question

If I execute the following command ...

sudo xcrun xcscontrol --list-simulators

... the result is as follows ...

Found 0 total simulators

I guess that's why we cannot see any simulator in the bot configuration tab "Devices" if we choose "Test With: iOS - Specific iOS Devices", the dialog just shows "No devices found.". Most of the times anyways, sometimes if we leave the configuration dialog open for a very long time, a list of simulators suddenly appears - which is very strange.

However the "Devices" window of Xcode shows all Simulator Devices properly and so does the following command:

xcrun simctl list

Why is the Xcode CI system unable to find Simulator Devices on our system?

Is there any way to see a more verbose output of xcscontrol any why it seems to fail?

Don't know if this problem is related to the CouchDB problems of Xcode 8.3.2 described here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/75581.

We've installed 8.3.3 on our CI server yesterday and the high load problem hasn't occurred again (yet).

However, the number of documents in the all-devices view still seem to grow with every single day. It used to be a few thousands per day before 8.3.3 and now is a few houndreds. In other words the problem isn't really gone, I expect the problem to reoccur in a few weeks when this view has several thousand entries again.

This is the solution folks! +1 for ajouline for offering a fix *and* an explaination on why.

A beer credit in their favor redeembable anytime they visit San Francisco bay area next. My treat.

Ah, beer credit sounds very nice... Thank you.

I used to travel to San Francisco quite frequently, but not so much nowadays. Perhaps later in the year, winter-ish.
