There are only a handful of files there, but on my Mac they use 13 GB of disk space.Īnd up until a couple of hours ago, that folder contained 7 GB of data that was incompatible with the current version of Xcode. That folder also contains an ist file that contains metadata for the disk images. It’s located in a sibling directory: /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Images. Now that you know what Xcode is using, you’ll wonder where it’s getting the disk image. simruntime packages contain all the information needed to simulate the device. This structure is the same as additional iOS runtimes in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profile/Runtimes. simruntime package in a Runtimes directory. Within each volume you’ll find a legal PDF and a path to a. When you select these volumes, you’ll see that they all mount at /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes. You’ll see a bunch of new “Simulator” volumes mounted under Disk Images: Disk Utility showing four Simulator runtimes. The first hint is when you look at Disk Utility.
Another prompt is displayed when you try to run a target for a platform without a runtime.īut what are these downloads and where are they stored? When you launch Xcode 14 the first time, you are prompted to download additional platforms. This reduces the app download size significantly, but it also means that you now have to manage these large (3-4 GB) components yourself. Beginning with Xcode 14, the Simulators for watchOS and tvOS are available as separate downloads (iOS and macOS are still “built-in”).
