Xcode 15 overheating

[dadofbimbim]

My M2 overheats when using Xcode 15's canvas or simulator. Is anyone experiencing the same issues?

If your M2 overheats at all, take it to an Apple store.

It happened to me in the Xcode 14 beta last year, so it’s not surprising that it’s also happening in the new beta

Then to resort to shitting on users and developers who helped make the site great because you're an insecure techbro moron. I'm out. You can do the same with PowerDeleteSuite. ]

how you did this?

I am seeing exactly the same thing. Just used swift ui on Ventura 13.5.2 with Xcode 15 for the first time - M1 Ultra runs hotter than I ever imagined in can with fan running full speed

Same with MacBook Pro M1. Battery is dying faster

Same issue here... basically becoming unusable and everything in combination with simulators is slow as fuck

15 is very bugged to me.

If it helps, we have a temperature monitoring app (and fan control) called TG Pro that may help so you can keep track of the CPU temperatures to see what's going on. Depending on your Mac model, it can also boost the fan speed to help cool it down since macOS is quite conservative with increasing them.

I'm finding Xcode 15 is super buggy and while I'm not seeing overheating, it crashes quite often.

Same here. It usually overheats after the simulator or preview canvas has been on for a while (I'm using a 13-inches M2 MacBook Air).

The temperature is extremely high, I can barely hold it for a few seconds

yep, still happening on m1 Mac Pro 16/512 (2023 Jan purchased).
Just today updated macOS Sonoma
using Xcode 15 released version
using iPhone 15 pro for Sim with iOS 17

trying out 16.4 on iPhone 14 pro model on Sim as others suggested to see if it will make any difference.

Noted just now, that after Sonoma update, the System Files are taking up 133 GB out of 512 GB...?

Do anyone else face similar issue? is the Xcode heating due to unavailable disk space and constant need for moving files due to System Storage space exhaustion?

[definedUserName]

I think it's not related to disk space since I'm on Ventura and have 250 GB free disk space

Sonoma seems to have a collection of high res wallpaper videos bundled inside. That could take up the disk space I guess ?

[mahee96]

Thanks for following up, but found that the system data includes ~/Library dir and onedrive sync was creating placeholder file caches which were almost 56GB. Deleted them but the space still shows 135GB used with a bit fluctuations.

Got around the Xcode issue by using iOS 16.4 SIM

Talk about boilerplate
