Xcode 14.3, iOS 16.4 Simulator Failing to Boot

[adamrushy]

Hey everyone 👋🏼

Before I start explaining the issue, here is the environment we're running.

Mac M1, Xcode 14.3 and Simulator iPhone 14 Pro 16.4.

The issue we're facing is that all UI tests are failing; the issue is that all simulators running 16.4 just simply display a "black screen" and this happens even when VNCing to the machine and trying to boot them myself. If I boot up a simulator on iOS 15, then it starts correctly, but still, the runner fails to start.

Here are some screenshots:

As you can see, iOS 15.4 start-up but 16.4 fails.

Hi @adamrushy, looks like there is an issue with iOS 16.4 simulators and we are investigating it to see if it is a known issue globally or something that can be fixed on our end. You can change the simulator to iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 15.4 for now, but from your description I understand you already tried it. Could you please let me know what exact issue happens when using a different simulator as you said the following:

@adamrushy, ok, as iOS 16.4 fires up alright now, let's switch back to Xcode 14.3 (M1) and trigger another build please. Let me know if the same behaviour is still persistent which will confirm the issue is indeed either related to the simulator or not.

Hey @icarusdust great news the latest build is now working on M1 and Xcode 14.3 - can you please confirm what changes you made for our reference?

[icarusdust]

Hi @adamrushy, great to hear it )) well, the core change was mainly about the macOS version which was updated to 13.3.1.

[adamrushy]

Awesome @icarusdust well appreciate all your help. We have fully upgraded now to M1 and Xcode 14.3 🙏🏼

You are always welcome @adamrushy 🚀
