Xcode 26 SDK/Simulator Download Issue: (-67061 invalid signature (code or signature have been modified)

Hello there!

I’m currently stuck with Xcode 26.0 beta 6 (17A5305f), as I can’t download the latest SDK/Simulator for iOS 26.0 beta 6 (23A5324a). The download constantly fails for days now with the following error message:

User Info: {
    DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2025-08-26 21:11:30 +0000";
    unusableErrorDetail = "";
}

System Information

macOS Version 15.6.1 (Build 24G90)
Xcode 26.0 (24208.7) (Build 17A5305f)
Timestamp: 2025-08-26T23:11:30+02:00

I’ve already tried re-downloading the Xcode beta 6 from the Apple Developer site. I’ve also tried restarting my Mac and even tried to use the command line to install iOS 26 beta SDK via xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads (as noted here). This lead to the same error message.

Can someone help? I’m unable to develop my apps right now! 🫠

I’ve also filed a feedback: FB19915834

I’ve just tested it with Xcode 26 beta 7 and I get the same issue!

You could try to completely reload Xcode 26ß7 from here: https://xcodereleases.com

When launching Xcode, you should be asked to download simulators.

Hope that helps.

I've noticed a point when installing ß7.

  • When I installed ß6 and was asked to download iOS, WatchOS… simulators. Which I did.
  • I kept ß6 installed and downloaded ß7
  • I was not asked to download simulators
  • they are available in ß7

Does it give a hint to a workaround ? Even though I noticed you had the problem with ß6.

  • uninstall ß7
  • download and install ß6: are you asked to download simulators ?
  • install ß7.

In anycase you should contact support and file a bug report.
