iOS 17.0 Simulator - Failed - Registering simulator runtime with CoreSimulator falied

Question

After downloading the Xcode beta and attempting to install the iOS 17.0 Simulator, an error message popped up saying, "Failed - Registering simulator runtime with CoreSimulator failed."

I have come across other solutions to this issue, but being new to this field, I was unable to resolve it on my own.

I have more than 18GB of free storage and have tried deleting and re-downloading Xcode-beta multiple times.

If anyone is able to assist me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it!

Answer

I ran into the same issue trying to setup my React Native environment for iOS, after a little reading i came across an article that described the problem as

> Error typically occurs when there is an issue with registering the simulator runtime with CoreSimulator. It can be triggered during the download and installation of simulator runtimes, such as the VisionOS Simulator, in Xcode 15.

And the possible causes being:

  1. Insufficient Storage
  2. Software Glitch (temporary issues with CoreSimulator or related services can trigger this error)
  3. Network Problems (issues during the download process can also cause this error.)

In my case i had less storage, cleared my storage to make space and error still persisted, next i noticed there was a pending MacOS update, ran the update, restarted my mac and everything was fixed. Updates are mostly important for bug fixes.
