Xcode 27 simulator

Capacitor
1

Looks like capacitor 8.5.1 is not compatible with the new Xcode 27 new simulator tool. I get “There was an error opening simulator: The file /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app does not exist.” when trying ‘npx cap run ios’ for any device.

Any timeline for when capacitor will be updated to run the new tooling for xcode simulators?

install 8.5.2 it should work fine

No, that didn’t work.

Delete derived data, sync your SPM (or cocoapods), Clean build folder. It works fine in running my apps on iphone 18 pro max simulators and xcode 27 without any troubles

I think we might have a misunderstanding. I can run the sim with no problems from xcode. The problem occurs when I try ionic cap run ios from my web project. It looks like ionic is trying to use the old simulator.

Are you saying you can run a simulator from the command line using ‘ionic cap run ios’? Are you sing ionic cli version 7.2.1?

I’ll let you know asap

i can install the application both on my real phone and simulator, but the live reload (real phone and simulator) doesn’t work

Me estaria pasando lo mismo,hice una actualizacion y la tienda rechaza porque no pued iniciar la app,en los emuladores funciona perfecto,en web tambien,lo que hice fue actualizar cocoa y se rompio,si alguno pudo solucionar ,porfavor comparta ,mientras tanto estoy fixeando un cambio,si lo logro aviso por este medio,saludos.

ciao Ivan, controlla che i plugin che stai utilizzando siano stati resi compatibili con SPM, credo che sia fondamentale. Esattamente che errore ti dà lo store iOS?

Ciao,uso los mismos de siempre ya hice chek de SPM y todo ok,lo unico que hice fue actualizar a xCode27 y eso me trajo el problema aparentemente,la tienda dice que no puede iniciar la app,pero en emulador y dispositivo fisico apple funciona.
