Cannot run iOS 15 Simulator on Xcode 15.0.1: Interrupted system call

I was trying to run iOS 15 Simulator on Xcode 15.0.1, but I got an error: "Unable to boot the Simulator. Interrupted system call"

I tried:

  1. Reinstalling Xcode
  2. Deleted "Derived Data"
  3. Redownloaded iOS 15 runtime

None of the above methods works for me.

Here is the error log:

System Information

macOS Version 14.0 (Build 23A344)
Xcode 15.0.1 (22266) (Build 15A507)
Timestamp: 2023-10-27T00:42:13+08:00

As you can see I'm running Xcode on my MacBook Pro 16 (M1 Max) with macOS Sonoma

Solution

  • Okay, answering my own question, after trying thousands of methods I've finally fixed it:

    1. Close Xcode, type this command in terminal: sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
    2. Clean the dyld folder in this path: ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator
    3. Restart Xcode, done!
