Did your iOS 17 Simulators get deleted recently?

The macOS anti-malware system XProtect got an update a couple of days ago, XProtectPayload 132, it found a false positive in the simulator runtime disk image and so would try and eliminate it. An updated 133 is out, check for updates and it should download the security update.

@AshtonDev I thought it unmounted drives as a side effect (which is where the sims are). A restart fixed it for many of us

@huwr I think it would unmount and try to delete, on my machine the delete failed and appeared in XProtect logs. I didn’t try restart but heard that worked. I reinstalled the iOS 17 platform in Xcode, an unnecessary download 😅

@AshtonDev where’d you find the XProtect logs. I’m trying to dig deeper
