In Xcode 13 beta 5 (and earlier betas) when the Simulator is running, a Spotlight process is using 100% CPU causing significant battery drain. Please see FB9335101 for more info. Also this tweet: https://twitter.com/pd959/status/1415706943579119619?s=20 And this forum post sharing a workaround: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/683277 cd ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices find . -name com.apple.suggestions.plist -exec plutil -replace SuggestionsAppLibraryEnabled -bool NO {} ";" These commands resolved it for me. Steps to reproduce: Run Xcode 13 simulator, e.g. iPhone 12 mini. Launch Activity Monitor, see the Spotlight process using 100% CPU.
