Once you are sure the simulator download has started in XCode, cancel it. You might want to click the “Clear Display” to make the next step easier. Now open up your Console.app program and make sure you are looking at the “All Messages” tab. In this example, I am downloading the iOS 9.3 Simulator. To do this, open up XCode and click on “Preferences > Components” to see a list of available simulators to download.Ĭlick the down arrow next to the simulator you want to download to begin the normal download process. The first thing you have to do is find the file that you need to download. MacOS 10.11.6 XCode 8.2.1 Find the Download URL
These steps worked for me, on my machine, but your results may vary and Apple may change things tomorrow and break this whole process. So if you are in a similar situation and for some reason need to download new iOS simulators outside of the normal XCode download process, here is how you do it. Since I don’t know what is causing this error and I can’t fix anything on Apple’s servers, all I can do is find a work around. This error even happens to users with “fast” connections. Others have the same problem and there really doesn’t seem to be a noticeable correlation to internet connection speed. Googling around I can tell that I am not alone. After some long period of time trying to download a file, I get a “connection timed out” error. I’ve had problems when downloading iOS updates in iTunes and problems when downloading new simulators in XCode. Blame it on the internet gods (or probably Apple), but I have the hardest time downloading large (like gigabyte size) downloads from Apple’s servers.
