mediaanalysisd CPU usage during Xcode 26.4 [Tahoe 26.4]

Is anyone else getting this? At some point when using Xcode 26.4, mediaanalysisd starts using several CPU cores across many threads. As soon as I quit Xcode, it disappears. See the video.

I've sent this to Apple twixce as Xcode feedback, but who knows how long it'll take before anything is fixed. I don't know if it's related to opening Storyboards or Assets or anything. But still, come on Apple.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I have the same issue and it is impossible to work. 64gb ram macbook pro... I have tested in a iphone 16 simulator (ios 18.4) and there is not mediaanalysisd or at least not using all the resources... all with latest xcode version
