  • Open Xcode -> Preferences -> Components.
  • Open the Console App, clear the console.
  • Go back to the Xcode preferences. Start the simulator download, then cancel it.
  • Now in the Console, you will see something about the cancellation with the download URL.
  • Copy the URL from the Console, download it.
  • Copy this file to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads.
    • If Downloads did not exist, create a new Downloads directory.
    • If Downloads exists, remove all *.dvtdownloadableindex files under it.
  • Open Xcode -> Preferences -> Components, start the simulator download again, it should find the file you downloaded and install it.

I have followed the exact same steps ....but in last step ...i does not find simulator file and keep buffering and after some time ...it gives me time out error

I am using Mac OS Big Sur 11.6.5 (20G527)
Xcode Version 12.5.1 (12E507)
trying to download iOS simulator 13.7

would like to mention that in my case com.apple.dt.Xcode was not present in Caches so I manually created this one as well and then created Downloads folder inside it as well as suggested above
