OK, (hopefully) final note on Xcode 15 beta install issues 😛
This was my experience (see previous posts which might explain this a bit more in detail) — I opted to download both Xcode 15 beta and iOS 17 since the option was presented and I thought you had to select the items you needed. Multiple downloads were started but in my case, I didn’t get the necessary Xcode XIP file.
I eventually figured out how to get the XIP, extracted it and ran it and then it prompts me to download and install the simulators … including the iOS 17 simulator I’d already downloaded.
This was annoying and confusing. Why have the iOS 17 download under Xcode downloads if Xcode prompts you for it again? If you simply wanted to provide the simulators as separate downloads, then wouldn’t it have made better sense not to include this with the Xcode download. Very confusing ….
Since I already had the iOS 17 simulator downloaded, I opted not to download and install the simulator. Instead, I ran Xcode, let it complete the first run and then quit Xcode, opened the iOS beta DMG and copied the files to the relevant location (which was /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes) and then restarted Xcode beta.
It detected the simulator and started verifying it but then says that it can’t verify the simulator because it wasn’t signed (or some similar error). But if I go to Settings in Xcode, it now shows the simulator as being present and installed.
I realize that this is a beta, but Apple used to have release notes which explained things but the Xcode 15 beta is just there with no explanations, and no notes. Some info would have eased the process for those who encounter errors?
