iOS 17.0 Simulator - Failed - Registering simulator runtime with CoreSimulator falied

Question

After downloading the Xcode beta and attempting to install the iOS 17.0 Simulator, an error message popped up saying, "Failed - Registering simulator runtime with CoreSimulator failed."

I have come across other solutions to this issue, but being new to this field, I was unable to resolve it on my own.

I have more than 18GB of free storage and have tried deleting and re-downloading Xcode-beta multiple times.

If anyone is able to assist me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it!

I was also encountering this problem, and here is the solution that worked for me:

Note: Ensure that you have enough space available on your hard disk.

Solution

1- Go to the URL: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/

2- You will be need to login with your developer account.

3- Download "iOS 17 Simulator Runtime".

4- Download may paused but be patient. Eventually after a long time it will downloaded (Use IDM or Chrome if you have.These software have better tendency to resume downloads).

5- once the file downloaded open terminal and run the commands:

xcrun simctl runtime add "Path to downloaded dmg file"

For example. xcrun simctl runtime add "Downloads/iOS_17_Simulator_Runtime.dmg"

6- Run xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS

Note: Make sure you have enabled full access option for terminal in your mac don't know how?check here: How to avoid "Operation not permitted" on macOS when `sudo` and `bypass` don't do the trick
