iOS 17.5 Simulator (21F79) fails to download
This is a 7.35 G file I have gotten to 65% and then it fails. Don't know why. Any way to download pieces?

Removing the cache solved this issue for me
rm -r ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Caches

You have to manually download the simulator from the developer site using Firefox, because a browser company actually knows how to resume failed downloads. Once downloaded, you have to move the file out of the downloads directory, but nobody will tell you this (I moved it to the /Applications directory). Then run this command:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app
xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
xcrun simctl runtime add "iOS_17.5_Simulator_Runtime.dmg"
This at least worked to the point that I was able to build my flutter app and upload it.
This was a huge pain that took me several hours, when a simple button to restart failed downloads would have made it take 15 minutes. I just got a fiber connection. I don't know why the downloads kept failing? All I know is that it's 2024 and large file downloads should be able to pick up where they failed at.
Where exactly did you run that command?
I tried on Terminal and then tried downloading the "iOS 17.5 Simulator" again, but kept getting the same "error" ("Could not download")...
How did you did that ? on Terminal?
Thanks! This helped
