Xcode Simulator animations extremely slow when played in editor

XCODE 9 BUG. This is officially confirmed to be an issue with Xcode 9.0 and its iOS 11 simulator — it affects any OpenGL-using application.

:( Hope this helps.

Currently only iOS11 simulator is slow.

You can download additional iOS10 simulator which works perfectly.

Choose Xcode -> Product -> Destination -> Download simulators... Then select any iOS10 simulator from the list (e.g. 10.3.1).

After that you will choose iOS version for most devices:

In Simulator menu, go to Debug > Slow Animations , and uncheck this option or simply do:

⌘ + T

If you press command+T it triggers the 'Slow animations' feature. I didn't noticed this setting until now. Doh!
