Delete simulator issue

[alexs555]

Sometimes bluepill hangs with strange logs :

this issue occures for 1 simulator while -num-sims can be set to 5, for example.

[  ERROR ] (BP-5) Could not delete simulator: “09500778-42D2-4979-A99D-406A6A6DDAE6” couldn’t be removed because you don’t have permission to access it.

We have never seen this, check if ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/09500778-42D2-4979-A99D-406A6A6DDAE6 have the correct user/groups ?

I have the same issue, user/group seem to match it can still use the simulators for testing, but they are not deleted

What happens if you try to delete the simulator by hand?

xcrun simctl delete 09500778-42D2-4979-A99D-406A6A6DDAE6

I am also facing this issue, i have all access on the folders. When i try to delete manually sometimes it deletes the simulator and sometimes it gets stuck in shutting down mode where i had to restart the coresimulator service to remove the device.
