Xcode – iOS 17.0 Simulator – Failed – Registering simulator runtime with CoreSimulator falied

After downloading the Xcode beta and attempting to install the iOS 17.0 Simulator, an error message popped up saying, "Failed – Registering simulator runtime with CoreSimulator failed."

I have come across other solutions to this issue, but being new to this field, I was unable to resolve it on my own.

I have more than 18GB of free storage and have tried deleting and re-downloading Xcode-beta multiple times.

If anyone is able to assist me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it!

    It’s caused by not enough free space on your disk (see this thread). I had 60 GB free and was still hitting the problem. But this worked for me:

    • delete old simulators from Xcode by going to Product > Destination > Manage Run Destinations… then click the simulators tab, and right-click then delete for each simulator you no longer need.

    • restart your mac (important!)

    Then you should be able to install iOS 17 simulators.

    I was also encountering this problem, and here is the solution that worked for me:

    Note: Ensure that you have enough space available on your hard disk.

    Solution

    1- Go to the URL: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/

    2- You will be need to login with your developer account.

    3- Download "iOS 17 Simulator Runtime".

    enter image description here

    4- Download may paused but be patient. Eventually after a long time it will downloaded (Use IDM or Chrome if you have.These software have better tendency to resume downloads).

    5- once the file downloaded open terminal and run the commands:

    xcrun simctl runtime add "Path to downloaded dmg file"

    For example. xcrun simctl runtime add "~Downloads/iOS_17_Simulator_Runtime.dmg"
