Temporary dyld_shared_cache taking a lot of space

Question

I am developing an application with Flutter and using an iOs simulator (iPhone 8 13.4). I noticed that while I am running my application (I am using VSCode), a lot of space is taken by some files. After some research, I found out that it is dyld_shared_cache_arm64e cache is taking a dump every minute which takes 1.73GB consistently. Location - /private/var/folders/rc/9jqgfj8148z8cfyz_9qht07m0000gn/T/TemporaryItems

I have 500GB of free space in my Mac, so after 3 hours my Mac is filled up. I haven't found any solution on the internet to stop caching apart from restarting my computer. I don't want to restart my mac every 3 hours. Any solution here?

Answer 1

Same problem here

It was fixed after opening Xcode and going to Window/Devices and Simulators. There select your iPhone and wait for the process of "Copying cache files from device" to finish

Then they can go back to their normal flutter workflow.
