Download Container downloads only partial container

In Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a) - and previous versions too, the download container in the Devices & Simulators functionality no longer works.

It will start downloading the container, however it will also:

  1. show NO download progress
  2. fail to download the whole container (the downloaded container is missing whole directories, eg. AppData/Library is missing - where my application stores the CoreData db)
  3. show no errors

This was tested with the XCode version stated above (and previous versions) and with iPhone XR (18.1.1 - MR42CN/A) and with iPad (17.7.2 - MR7F2FD/A).

How can I debug this issue / make the Xcode download the whole container?

Running on Mac mini 15.1.1 (24B91).

Also the fact that Show Container does nothing isn't helpful

The only fix I have found for this issue is to use an older version of Xcode :-/
