Hi, I installed Xcode 27 beta 2 and now I can't create any VMs using Virtualization. I tried uninstalling the beta Xcode and re-installing the Xcode 26, but it's still failing.

I was able to create VMs using ipsws before I installed Xcode 27, so I'm certain it's the cause.

Is there a way to fully uninstall everything having to do with Xcode from the machine without having to re-install my entire macOS?

I tried

sudo rm -rf /Applications/Xcode*.app
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.dt.Xcode
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode*
rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.dt.Xcode.savedState
sudo xcode-select --reset

And I manually deleted the CoreSimulators. I restarted, but it's still broken. Even installed older Xcode 26 and ran


XCODE_DESTINATION="/Applications"
XCODE_APP="Xcode.app"
sudo /usr/sbin/dseditgroup -o edit -a everyone -t group _developer
sudo xcode-select -s ${XCODE_DESTINATION}/${XCODE_APP}/Contents/Developer
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
sudo DevToolsSecurity -enable
for PKG in $(/bin/ls ${XCODE_DESTINATION}/${XCODE_APP}/Contents/Resources/Packages/*.pkg); do
    sudo /usr/sbin/installer -pkg "$PKG" -target /
done
echo "Checking Xcode CLI tools"
sudo xcode-select -s "${XCODE_DESTINATION}/${XCODE_APP}"
xcode-select -p &> /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "Xcode CLI tools not found. Installing them..."
  touch /tmp/.com.apple.dt.CommandLineTools.installondemand.in-progress;
  PROD=$(softwareupdate -l |
    grep "\*.*Command Line" |
    tail -n 1 | sed 's/^[^C]* //')
  softwareupdate -i "$PROD" --verbose;
else
  echo "Xcode CLI tools OK"
fi

I must be missing something still...
