54. Article: Stop Xcode 14 beta from draining your battery

Writer's picture: Hui WangHui Wang

There is a bug in Xcode14 betas 4~6 that, when running the iOS 16 iPhone Simulator, causes a crash loop in the PosterBoard process, causing CPU usage to spike and battery drain very fast.


Before Apple fixes the issue, this article provides a workaround and finds a solution that doesn't require downloading an old simulator.


Simply run the command:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/Library/Wallpaper/Collections/Collections.plist -c "add order array" -c "add order: string 23EC2CF1-0188-49FC-B214-EC1AB37FE5C4"
