I am a cross-platform developer working on both android and ios platforms. For my ios development i used Xcode with ios simulator to make my work easy, and i got a new pc to work with. Whenever i tried to run Xcode with my build running on a simulator, the data is just flowing in and out like a river. I tried many things, and even removed the apple id and related accounts from my PC, but of no use.

nsurlsessiond takes on GB's and i dont know what it takes from me. Is there any way to get rid of this data eating monster so that i can work peacefully??

  • Welcome to Ask Different :) What is the version of macOS that you are running? Apparently some process is running in the background transferring data. Maybe macOS is downloading a update in the background. – Nimesh Neema Apr 16 '20 at 05:04

  • @NimeshNeema I am on 10.15.3 . I haven't enabled automatic updates. It only consumes heavily when i opens Xcode/Simulator – FortuneCookie Apr 16 '20 at 12:56

  • I know that the questions are not the same. But the solution is the same. If OP wanted to know more about the process , I'd have voted for questions that try to make nsurlsessiond less opaque. But some weeks ago, I just decided to block it via a firewall. – anki Aug 24 '20 at 12:19
  • @FortuneCookie The link Jeremy posted mentions this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59251235/xcode-simulator-constantly-download-something which has an answer with a workaround. – jaume Aug 24 '20 at 12:35
