Cannot Preview in this file. Simulator was shutdown during an update.

Hello,

I am facing a recurring issue with Xcode iOS simulator (preview). I want to preview a SwiftUI for iOS in Xcode, but the Simulator app fails to boot up. I receive the follow error in Xcode: Cannot Preview in this file. Simulator was shutdown during an update.

I have tried the following:

  • Uninstall Xcode and reinstall it again
  • Deleting all developer data
  • Deleting Xcode cache
  • Reinstalling iOS Simulator runtimes and reconfiguration of simulators.
  • Tested using different simulator and runtime versions.
  • "xcrun simctl --set previews delete al"

I reported the issue:

  • FB20485454
  • FB20987522

Thank you. Best regards, Jens
