[Error, Bug] when running the game on iOS simulator

Cocos Creator
#1

Hi there,
I’ve received an error while I was trying to run the game on iOS simulator. I have no problem for building and making the app, but when I start the app on the simulator it will crash. I’ve tested with an empty 2d project on 3.8.0, 3.7.1 and 3.6.0 exact same issue.

MacBook Air, M1, 8GB
MacOs: Ventura 13.0
Xcode: 14.3.1 (14E300c)
Tested on: iOS 15.0, iOS 16.4
CC versions: 3.8.0, 3.7.1, 3.6.0

Also, here is the error I’ve gotten:

Any idea, solution?
I’ve stuck at this stage, I’ve tested for mac build it works but iOS has this issue!

Thank you!

I’ve found the solution, if anyone has the same issue or you are able to build the game and will crash without any reason just run the following command

softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
#4

Also the command will work for following error as well

8-5-2023 15:27:15-log: [runCmd xcrun - error] An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=3):
Simulator device returned an error for the requested operation.
