Beta 7 seems to have fixed the issue.

I had to additionally force-quite mds_stores and disable spotlight on all drives with mdutil -a -i off. This might fail, if one is too 'slow' and mds_stores restarts, preventing disabling of indices. Then, deleting index files as mentioned by wangzhenxing worked! Trying to disable indexing from system settings fails with some 'unknown error'.

Security @Apple, please flag the current Apple Homebrew formula used in the installation of the Game Porting Toolkit at https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple/blob/main/Formula/game-porting-toolkit.rb as security risk, since it installs outdated network, encryption and security components on user's machines (e.g. openssl 1.1). It is obvious to even a cursory reviewer that this script is completely un-salvageable, and seems to be in that state for quite some time, probably for reasons beyond the scope of bug reports. However, now, This requires a complete rewrite with up-to-date dependencies and should not be part of a 2.0 release in it's current state, even at a beta stage.

Installation of what is now called "Evaluation environment for Windows games 2.0 beta" (also included in Game Porting Toolkit 2 beta) is still broken, with exactly the same problems stated above. Somehow not surprising, since the homebrew formula to build the toolkit has not been updated. Workaround is to use pre-built binaries that have been built during the 'golden age', when the toolkit still did built: https://github.com/Gcenx/game-porting-toolkit/releases

As of now, installation of Apple's game-porting-toolkit is again broken, regardless of CLT/Xcode versions used. The compilation fails with: /private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20240603-70423-h1cgr2/wine/dlls/msvcrt20/msvcrt20.c: In function 'MSVCRT20__getmainargs': /private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20240603-70423-h1cgr2/wine/dlls/msvcrt20/msvcrt20.c:35:5: error: implicit declaration of function '__getmainargs' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 35 | __getmainargs( argc, argv, envp, expand_wildcards, &new_mode ); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ /private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20240603-70423-h1cgr2/wine/dlls/msvcrt20/msvcrt20.c: In function 'MSVCRT20__wgetmainargs': /private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20240603-70423-h1cgr2/wine/dlls/msvcrt20/msvcrt20.c:46:5: error: implicit declaration of function '__wgetmainargs'; did you mean 'MSVCRT20__wgetmainargs'?

This requires fixing by Apple.

Command Line Tools 15.1 also works fine, no need to downgrade to beta. Thanks Glazomer for figuring this out! https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_15.1/Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_15.1.dmg Is the latest version that works with building the game-porting-toolkit. Maybe Apple should consider CI. :-)

@Frameworks Engineer I can confirm that switching to from tensorflow.keras.optimizers.legacy import Adam fixes the XLA problem, and TF 2.11 works fine. So no need to downgrade the tensorflow version. Thank you!
