Xcode 27: DeviceHub working with simctl DeviceSets

Hello,

I am wondering if DeviceHub will include support at some point for Simulator Device Sets (usually created via simctl)?

While I can still start Simulators from a DeviceSet via simctl still with Xcode 27, it doesn’t launch in the DeviceHub, I simply see the headless Simulator running (which I can see this in ActivityMonitor).

So it looks like any Simulators not created with DeviceHub won’t run/render in DeviceHub?

Usually with the Simulator.app I can run:

$ open -a Simulator.app --args -DeviceSetPath /Volumes/Simulators/26.1.0/CustomDeviceSet

and then the Simulator app opens with the Device Set list and I then can run simulators I pre-prepared from the Simulator.app.

If I try the same command with DeivceHub:

$ open -a DeviceHub.app --args -DeviceSetPath /Volumes/Simulators/26.1.0/CustomDeviceSet

While It does start the DeviceHub app it doesn't do anything with the DeviceSetPath argument. I would expect to see the devices from the device set directory to show up in the DeviceHub UI list if it were honored.

Thanks!
