iOS Simulators Fail Download

I've been going through different fixes for a few weeks and nothing seems to work. Prior to updating everything to iOS 26 and OS 26, everything worked normally except for the predictive code which wouldn't download.

Download failed. Domain: DVTDownloadableErrorDomain Code: 41 User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2026-01-02 23:41:12 +0000"; }

Download failed. Domain: DVTDownloadableErrorDomain Code: 41

Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime), serverParameters ({ RequestedBuild = 23C54; }) Domain: DVTDownloadsUtilitiesErrorDomain Code: -1

Download failed due to a bad URL. (Catalog download for com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime) Domain: com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download Code: 49 User Info: { checkConfiguration = 1; }

System Information

macOS Version 26.0 (Build 25A354) Xcode 26.2 (24553) (Build 17C52) Timestamp: 2026-01-02T16:41:12-07:00

What I've Tried

  • Cleared caches

  • Restarted my machine

  • Reinstalled Xcode

  • Installed other versions of Xcode

  • Installed Xcode-beta

  • Using a VPN

  • Not using a VPN

  • Changing DNS settings

  • Using a different Wifi network

  • Using an older machine

  • Using an older OS

I've run out of options and I have no idea what else to do. The issue every time seems to point back to Apple servers.

This is interesting as this is the second person with that issue I just replied. I would like to find out more about it. Please read what I just posted and let me know if applies to you. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/812083
