Xcode Simulator animations extremely slow when played in editor


Recently I have experienced, that Xcode's simulator has become extremely slow. Also if I create a new app and run it i, the transition between the launch screen and the first view controller takes about 3 seconds. Luckily it is only the iOS 9 simulator and not iOS 8 or lower. I have upgraded to Xcode 6.4 and I also have Xcode 7.0 beta 3 installed. Has anyone experienced the same? I have tried to uninstall both Xcode versions, but it didn't help.


Solution

  • If you press command+T it triggers the 'Slow animations' feature. I didn't noticed this setting until now. Doh!
