Related: there is a limit in Xcode that stops at 999 processes for CoreSimulator. Ask me how I know.

@chockenberry thanks to me not being ⅛ the developer I presume you are, it took me months to discover my Mac app was failing with a “missing Dynamic Lib” (one unknown to me) error message because it no longer fit into a 2GB segment with my enlarged static data array and code

@chockenberry They removed the device simulator from the Dev Tools in Safari and now it (tries) to open Xcode. Why, Apple, Why? I’m just laying out a simple form using Bootstrap framework. I don’t need that kind of overhead.

@chockenberry Missing option: Never, because they’ve long been so unreliable that one has stopped using them entirely.

@chockenberry it starts off so well when you start a new project. Eventually it just stops working completely and I disable it and use the simulator.

@chockenberry I am constantly amazed that people can use Previews. I’ve never been able to use them for longer than a couple months at random times before some new issue pops up that prevents them from working in a given project.
Maybe they would work for me now, not sure. I haven’t tried since a few betas before 15 RC.

@chockenberry never! That stuff never works so I don’t use it at all 🤷‍♂️

@chockenberry 0% because previews never work
