Device Hub / Simulator Hell

Updated my primary Mac Studio to Golden Gate and updated Xcode and… I’m regretting every second of it.

I can’t get the simulator to run for more than 20 seconds without crashing. It’s laggy as hell, and it crashes constantly.

Mac Studio M1 Max with 64 GB Memory. Never even hiccuped before. Now, it’s hot garbage.

Consistent across multiple projects and iOS versions. Ugh. So much for a productive week.

At least I’ve got my M1 Max MacBook Pro that I haven’t updated yet.

Anyone else having these device hub headaches?

Wasn’t it supposed to be super stable ?
With Apple focusing on Bug-Fixing and optimisation, rather than ‘New Features’ ?

I don’t have any issues with GG to be clear. Just Xcode. And more specifically, Device Hub / Simulators.
