Cannot download voices in the iOS 26.5 Simulator

The issue can be reproduced as follows :

  1. Launch the iOS 26.5 Simulator.
  2. Go to the Settings app.
  3. Tap Accessibility.
  4. Tap Spoken Content.
  5. Turn on Speak Selection.
  6. Tap Voices.
  7. An empty view gets opened, in which no language can be selected.

How can voices be downloaded in the iOS 26.5 Simulator ?

Note: There is not such issue in the iOS 18.5 Simulator.

Note: There is not such issue in a real iOS 26.5 Device.

Hello @1066,

Note: There is not such issue in the iOS 18.5 Simulator.

Hmm, I see what you mean. An empty view in the Simulator Accessibility settings doesn't sound expected to me, and hearing that this had a function in previous Simulators leads me to believe it might be a regression.

Are you able to create a bug report that I can share with the relevant engineering team about this issue? This will help tracking purposes for our engineering teams as well as for your own information about progress.

Please file a report of what's going on here https://developer.apple.com/feedback-assistant/ Include the affected platforms tested against, and screenshots too. This would help speed up our investigation.

Reply with the feedback number once completed so that I can share the report with that team.

Thank you for this feedback.
