Hello team, On Xcode 14.1, After building the project and when the simulator launches, it shows blank black screen. Here steps to reproduce:

build the project with fresh device. Try changing the language to French in device settings
Device should launch in French language. Instead, it loads and goes blank (blank screen)
Quit the simulator (XPC error is displayed) and rebuild the project using the same simulator device.
Build succeeds and simulator launches, but has blank screen on simulator.
Xcode is stuck at "Launching Application"

Is this a known issue? Has anyone experienced the same? How can I fix this? Stack (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74315983/xcode-stuck-on-launching-application) says its a bug, so posting here for recommendations

This issue exists on Xcode 15.2 (15C500b) running on a 2021 Macbook Pro M1 Max. Has persisted since XCode 14 as others have reported.

Come on Apple devs, it's been more than a year we have to kill and rerun our simulators (since xcode 14, and still on 15.3 even with MacOS 14.0 )...

I just bought an M3 Max and I can't believe this issue... sounds like it's been here for a long time.. what can we do? just develop on devices??? this is a catastrophe, I bought this Mac to develop iOS apps.
