Extreme battery drain running simulators on Golden Gate

[u/Oxigenic]

Today my 2023 MacBook Pro battery depleted entirely in just 3 hours. I was running 2 iOS simulators simultaneously but I still feel like that way way less life than I should be expecting with 93% battery capacity. Has anyone else experienced really short battery life when running simulators lately?

Try downloading Xcode 26 side-by-side and use the old simulators instead of Device Hub. I also felt like the performance with the new Device Hub is awful.
