Can I download the iOS 26 simulator runtime via a download link? The machine I need to deploy on may require an offline package installation due to firewall restrictions.

Hi!

You can download simulator runtimes following this documentation.

For example

xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads

will download the iOS simulator runtime in your Downloads folder.

On the other machine, you can use

xcodebuild -importPlatform path/to/runtime.dmg

to install the simulator runtime you just downloaded.

I am unable to download the specified version 26.2. In light of the issue discussed in this thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/818209, could this be related to the local Xcode version?
