Reply to Cannot Preview in this file. Simulator was shutdown during an update.
Hi, I am just a beginner. Currently I have only issues with the preview. I could not find the option to change the sim runtime of the preview. The only option is to change the target of simulator, not preview. I used the button to change target in top bar and below the preview. But all versions produce the same error. I have 18.6, 26.0 and 26.1 installed. If I remove 26.1, then the preview complains about missing runtime and I get a download button to install 26.1. Reinstalling 26.1 does not solve the issue.

Reply to iOS Simulator fails to boot (18.6 / 26.1 / 26.2) – launchd_sim could not bind to session
Hi, I have the same issue since 6 months. I tried the same things as above and reported it several times to Apple. But no reaction from Apple so far. Does anyone have a solution?

@Developer Tools Engineer The versions 18.6, 26.0 and 26.1 seem to have the issue. What can I do now?

Reply to When trying to run SwiftUI previews, it fails with "SimulatorShutdownUnexpectedlyError - Simulator was shutdown during an update"
I have the same problem since I started working with Xcode in october. Reported the issue several times, but no reaction in the feedback app.
