xCode VM crashes

as reported by [reddit]](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcode/comments/wcd9wc/xcode_14_beta_4_simulator_crashing_posterboard/) xcode is not able to launch the simulator on some beta versions of xcode.

crash

This sounds like a segfault, depending if reporting crash reports to apple is on or off it will show the error in detail or no error at all. Code: NPOSIX

Workarounds:

  • Add simulator and then download iOS version 15.5 (the next one doesn't exist!), then you need to fiddle with User Interface of Simulator/Environnment to select the aforementioned version. NB it takes 6GB of free space, what a cheap workaround.

or

  • Don't use Simulator at all and use device direclty connected with USB.

Impacts:

Because iOS simulator is used for general development, it will impact android-studio as well.
