Could not load Network Link Conditioner preference pane - xcode

I installed the latest version of Hardware IO Tools for Xcode (Oct 2013) on OS X 10.8.5. I installed the "Network Link Conditioner preference pane". I get the following error every time I try to run this toolCould not load Network Link Conditioner preference pane`
I tried to re-install the package but got the same error. Who knows how to fix the problem?
My Solution:
I've installed OS X Mavericks and that fixed the problem.

As said, use Hardware IO Tool for Xcode - Late July 2012.
Installation steps to be sure that it works:
Remove any currently installed Network Link Conditioner preference panes (right-click it in the System Preferences window for the option to delete).
Verify that there is no file called Network Link Conditioner.prefPane in either /Library/PreferencePanes/ or ~/Library/PreferencePanes/; if they're there, remove them by hand.
Empty your trash
Restart your Mac
Then, re-install from the old version mentioned above (from late July 2012).
Having to empty your trash and restart your Mac gives the whole process a nice touch of nostalgia for ex-Windows users, but it really made the difference for me.

I had same issue. I downloaded the Hardware IO Tool for Xcode - Late July 2012. It installed without any problem on OS X 10.8.5.

I've installed OS X Mavericks and that fixed the problem

Xcode 11.2 not updating

show disk space not enough
I’m using macOS Mojave 10.14.5
I have 11.69GB free disk space
when I click the install it's always show alert message "We could not complete your update, there is not enough disk space available to install the product".
How to fix the problem ? please help
For the Latest Version of XCode 12 you need to have a minimum of 40 GB of free space before updating or downloading Xcode
If you have other issues with memory you can try #vedRanuiar Answer to get some free space.
I have more free space than you and couldn't update my already installed Xcode 11.1 to 11.2.
What I did was to manually download the file. You search for the version you want by going here: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
Or here's the direct link to the Xcode 11.2 download file you're looking for:
https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_11.2/Xcode_11.2.xip
It needs almost 18GB when installed, so before installation make sure you have at least 20GB of free space
I have encountered the same problem and this is how I solved it:
I suggest you have an external hard drive. Then download a desired version of the xcode to this page.download
If a XIP file is located on your desktop: open the “Terminal” application found in /Applications/Utilities/ and run the following command:
xip -x ~/Desktop/Xcode_8.2.1.xip
Then wait until it has finished installing
i have found my problem it's technical issues.
Finally able to getting Xcode 11.2 installed after updating the Mojave 10.14.5 to macOS Catalina 10.15.1.
Catalina 10.15.1 requirements
MacBook introduced in 2015 or later
MacBook Air introduced in 2012 or later
MacBook Pro introduced in 2012 or later
Mac mini introduced in 2012 or later
iMac introduced in 2012 or later
iMac Pro (all models)
Mac Pro introduced in 2013 or later
Just clean both directories and reclaim 16-30 GB of Hard Drive Space From Xcode -
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ - It is safe to delete directories here.
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/ - A folder for each combination of iOS devices you have plugged in.

How install Xcode on a macOS 10.13 via workstation

At the moment, I would like to code something for ios just for fun and to learn new things. I have a VM Workstation 15 Pro, but I only have a macOS 10.13 system for use, so if I run it von my Workstation and try to install Xcode he won't let me, because then the only message I get is:
"can only be installed on 10.13.6 version"
How and where can I get this version (without the help of Apple ...) or is there a way to avoid all this?
Update the macOS version in your VM from 10.13 to 10.13.6. Open the Mac App Store in your 10.13 VM and check for updates. From there you should be able to update your VM to 10.13.6, allowing you to install Xcode.
Another alternative is to install an older version of Xcode from Apple's developer site.
In order to download older versions of XCode you have to have an apple account and then sign the developer TOS to access old versions of software in the downloads -> more section of the developer site at apple.com. You can determine which version of XCode will be compatible with your version of mac OS by referring to the column "min macOS to run" in the tables on the wikipedia page for XCode
If you want to download it without Apple you will probably have to find an alternate source to download XCode (which I'm guessing breaks their TOS)

Android Studio 3.0.1 for Mac not opening/installing SDK

I've downloaded Android Studio 3.0.1 for Mac and as I started it, it showed the splash screen for loading but did nothing else relevant (in the case, means showing the menu for starting/opening/importing projects).
After some research, I found that I could bypass this screen if I change the idea.properties and put on the following line:
disable.android.first.run=true
After that I can now reach the SDK Manager window, but no SDK update sites, platforms or tools shows up.
I'm running macOS X High Sierra 10.13.2.
Can anyone help me on installing the SDK tools and platforms?
Edit:
SDK Platform Screenshot
SDK Tools Screenshot
SDK Update Sites Screenshot
Uninstall and install it again. It should have downloaded the Android SDK components while installing but it doesn't seem to be the case. Make sure your connected to the internet during the installation, and once the installation is completed, ensure that they have been downloaded by checking the default Android SDK location on MacOS. Then try opening Android Studio without needing to change any config.
By the time this question was made, there was no solution.
The OS requirements were Mac OS High Sierra up to 10.12. There was no Android Studio for Mac OS 10.13.
Currently there is a version that supports Mac OS 10.13.
edit: also, I found out that permission problems may cause unexpected behavior of some apps (Visual Studio Code also broke). After the permissions check, the software worked like a charm.

Xamarin iOS simulator issues - The device was not found

I am trying to use the Xamarin iOS simulator but it fails on launch with a "The device {guid} was not found".
I have my environment settings like...
and when I run I see...
then...
researching the error, the recommendation is to explicitly set the XCode path which I have done, but I get the same error. Also, notice I am connected to our build Mac.
I have a coworker connected to the same Mac with the same computer and VS version I am on, and his iOS simulator works fine. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the simulator and restarted Visual Studio (2017RC).
I appreciate any pointers someone might have!
UPDATE
I reinstalled my Windows 10 OS thinking I had a corrupt install. Unfortunately on a clean machine with 2017RC, the simulator still fails in the same way as I described above.
In my case: UnCheck Remote Simulator to Windows
I am facing the same issue from last two days and solved this as well by removing the latest version of XCode 12.5.
Download the previous version of code i.e 12.4 from apple site and install
Move the downloaded xcode file in application and check on windows
It works fine
Latest version of XCode 12.5 is not stable
I confirm the issue is currently (May 2021) caused by Xcode 12.5 upgrade.
After I downgraded back to Xcode 12.4, the simulators started to work again with no problem.
I tried to upgrade Visual Studio for Windows to latest version 16.9.4, did not help. I launched Visual Studio Installer to reinstall Xamarin, did not help either.
Only when I removed Xcode 12.5 (using this shell script https://onexlab-io.medium.com/uninstall-xcode-from-macos-eca1b69dc836) and installed version 12.4 (from XIP archive from here How to download Xcode DMG or XIP file?) it started to work.
You may need to uncheck "Remote Simulator to Windows." I just fixed this issue for myself by doing so. However, I was trying to launch on the iOS simulator on my Mac side (running Windows vm via Parallels). It seems you might be trying to launch the simulator in windows.
If you need a quick solution, downgrade the version of VS and Xcode, for me this works:
VS 2019 - 16.9.3
Xcode - 12.4
Xamarin.iOS - 14.14.2.5
And for physical devices make sure Hot Restart is not enabled in Tools > Options > Xamarin > iOS settings
Just had the same problem after upgrading mac to Big Sur and Xcode 12.5 yesterday. Reboots and deleting obj/bin/.vs folders made no difference. The fix was to explicitly type the Xcode path into Xamarin options iOS settings - even though it was the default - untick Remote Simulator to Windows then pair/connect to mac from that options dialog. After closing the dialog and reopening it Remote Simulator was checked again. I unchecked it, closed the dialog and reopened it to check again - it was closed this time. All works fine now.
I also ran mac VS and let it update in the midst of all this.
I have the same issue since yesterday, to resolve that I uninstall the "Xamarin iOS simulator" and now it works...
it may be a solution for your issue!
Did you resolved the issue already?
I bumped onto the same issue today. I tried opening Xcode on Mac and it says it need to install additional tools. I let it install and try open/quit Visual Studio for Mac, Xcode, Simulator again (not sure if it is related)
Now to remote simulator works fine again.
I had the same issue and i resolved it by realizing that my PC with VS was on a different network than my Mac with Xcode. Once i put both machines on the same network the issue went away. Hope it helps.

Installing Apple's Network Link Conditioner Tool

I have installed xcode 4.3.1 on my machine running Lion.
I can't find the Network Link Conditioner tool anywhere.
I have checked the utilities folder, also the xcode/contents/developer/* directories.. no such luck.
Do I need to install specific components or has this tool been removed or renamed recently?
It's in an additional download. Use this menu item:
Xcode > Open Developer Tool > More Developer Tools...
and get "Hardware IO Tools for Xcode".
For Xcode 8+, get "Additional Tools for Xcode [version]".
Double-click on a .prefPane file to install. If you already have an older .prefPane installed, you'll need to remove it from /Library/PreferencePanes.
You can also install any of the Hardware IO Tools without installing XCode itself. Simply visit Apple's Download Center and search for "Hardware IO".
Update on the answer December 2019 Xcode 11.1.2
Apple has moved Network Link Conditioner Tool to additional tools for
Xcode
Go to the below link
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?q=Additional%20Tools
Install the dmg file, select hardware from installer
select Network Link conditioner prefpane
The tools can now be found ("Hardware IO tools") here: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
For Xcode 8 you gotta download a package named Additional Tools for Xcode 8
For other versions (8.1, 8.2) get the package here
Double click and open the dmg and go to Hardware directory. Double click on Network Link Conditioner.prefPane.
Click on install
Now Network Link Conditioner will be available in System Preferences.
For versions older than Xcode 8, the package to be downloaded is called Hardware IO Tools for Xcode. Get it from this page
Remove "Network Link Conditioner", open "System Preferences", press CTRL and click the "Network Link Conditioner" icon. Select "Remove".
Restart your computer
Download the dmg "Hardware IO tools" for your XCode version from https://developer.apple.com/download/, you need to be logged in to do this.
Open it and install "Network Link Conditioner"
Restart your computer one last time.
Now accessible directly inside Xcode 14, no need to add any tools for that.
