Code I'm trying to preview on iPhone 15

import UIKit

final class SomeViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.backgroundColor = .red
    }
}

@available(iOS 17, *)
#Preview {
    SomeViewController()
}

Our project could not initially be debugged using the simulator in Apple silicon, so it could not be previewed.

After the arm64 architecture is excluded from each target: the simulator works, but #Preview still doesn't work and gives the same error message as your question: failed to launch(I'm pretty sure we got exactly the same error).

After trying various methods:

• deleting all the code in didFinishLaunch
• deleting the Preview cache
• deleting the Simulator cache
• deleting DerivedData
• restarting Xcode
• restarting Mac

all failed，Until we remembered how to build an App using Rosetta simulator:

Use the Rosetta simulator as the build target and set the preview to be the same device,A miracle happened：

It is important for us to: We turned off auto-refresh canvas to make Preview finally work.
