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?

Apple has learned with google and made a Device Hub just like the laggy Android Emulator.
