Looks like it wasn't downloading the thing, I checked in activity monitor after deleting the folder. It copies it from somewhere else, most likely

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/

Xcode simulator constantly download something

  • I removed all the listed items from Xcode's Window Menu → devices and simulators, which listed iOS 12 as their OS version.

  • Went to iOS settings → Developer and cleared paired devices.

  • Connected iPhone, unlocked it and chose "Don't Trust" upon prompt.

No more unnecessary folders.


Since it causes problem for iTunes backup and network sharing, Go to `/Users/ankitkumar/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/12.4` right click on it > get info > Check locked.
