Even though beta 3 change logs claim there's a fix for the preview error Type 'WidgetEntryPointFactory' does not conform to 'NonUIEntryPoint', it is still an issue for me consistently.

The previously accepted workaround for this issue also doesn't work for me anymore, which was: mv ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Caches/dyld{,_old} ; sudo killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService.

What's a developer to do to get the preview working again? 🤓

Full diagnostics message I get:

RemoteHumanReadableError: Type 'WidgetEntryPointFactory' does not conform to `NonUIEntryPoint` (in framework at path /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ChronoCore.framework/Support/WidgetPreviewsExtensionAgent.bundle)

Thanks, we are seeing others hitting the same issue with beta 3, so must not be fully fixed. As for the workaround could you try rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Caches/dyld ; sudo killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService

Workaround helps but not consistently. Also now that I've been on the beta 3 for a bit longer now, I also noticed the issue doesn't always present itself. So for now the preview is working fine for me. Thanks!
