I have the same issue when running unit tests on my simulator on an M1 laptop. I found a working solution: #if targetEnvironment(simulator)     faceDetectionRequest.usesCPUOnly = true #endif

I get a slightly different error in unit tests, only on my M1 laptop: request VNDetectFaceRectanglesRequest was cancelled But I found a solution! #if targetEnvironment(simulator)     faceDetectionRequest.usesCPUOnly = true #endif
