Xcode 27 Beta / Beta 2 Running my app in Device Hub stalls on Launch Screen

I was hoping this was fixed in Beta 2, but I am having the same issue. I run my app:

  • on a simulator device
  • Device Hub opens
  • Begins installing the app
  • I see the icon and it starts to fill in
  • The launch screen loads and never finishes loading.
  • I then stop running app in Xcode.
  • Device Hub still shows launch screen
  • I restart device in Device Hub
  • I then can open the app and test

Anyone else experiencing this? I would really like to solve this as it makes testing changes a frustrating experience. Because I then have to close Device Hub and Xcode to simulate again.

Hello, I am seeing something similar running Xcode 27 beta 2, on macOS 27 beta 2. It's a MacBook Air M2 with 16 GB of RAM.

Trying to spin up the preview, on getting anything to run on Device Hub is almost impossible.

From Activity Monitor, the swap used is around 13 GB.
