title: xcode simulators on external drive
body: <p>I have tried a few tutorials on the internet also from other SO questions, how to get xcode simulators on external drive.</p>
  <p>Steps i tried:</p>
  <p>Install Xcode</p>
  <p>move /Library/Developers/CoreSimulator/Profiles &lt;- this folder to /Volumes/SSD/Library/Developers/Profiles and made a simlink
  <code>/Volumes/SSD/Library/Developers/Profiles -&gt; /Library/Developers/CoreSimulator</code></p>
  <p>After starting xcode it is starting to &quot;verify the ios 12.4 simulator&quot; and then it starts flawless. After then, when i try to start the simulator for example 13.5 that is shipped default with xcode if i'm not wrong, it is start fine. But when i try 12.4 it says some weird error that connection interrupted or something like that, but when i try to boot it via command line:</p>
  <pre><code>xcrun simctl boot E2228AB7-8B64-4771-86AB-1341A4FB8EDD
