Recently (today and yesterday) my simulators have begun to freeze every single time I open them. I'll start my app up, and within a minute, even less, the entire simulator freezes and I get the spinning wheel of death. If I wait it will unfreeze and do the task, only to freeze again seconds later.
If I restart my computer it'll work for maybe 5 minutes before freezing, same if I reset the simulator. However, it always goes back to freezing on me. This is extremely frustrating, as you can imagine!
I've searched Google but haven't found anything mentioning my problem. Has anyone had this happen to them before? It only freezes after use, and it seems like the Settings app is the main cause of this, usually when I open the settings is when I run into issues.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Or what could possibly be going wrong with my simulators? I appreciate any help!

Launching the Simulator, though, always requires opening Xcode and going to Developer Tools. Because the Simulator. app is embedded within the Xcode app bundle, apps like LaunchBar won't find it to index it. LaunchBar, which is my launcher of choice, also ignores aliases, so dragging Simulator.
To launch a Simulator without running an appChoose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator. Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator.
type: ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator. The Directories are the iOS version of the different Simulators. The Sub Directories are the Apps install on the simulator. The Documents folder is where the user generated content which gets backup up onto iCloud.
The "Window Snapping" feature in BetterTouchTool might cause this issue.
You could add the Simulator app in BTT, disable the scrolling & snapping feature for the simulator.
