The short answer

Yes. Rebuilt or re-downloaded automatically when needed.

What is it?

Debug symbols Xcode copies from Apple Vision Pro when you debug on it, one folder per visionOS version and build. Folders for versions the headset no longer runs stay behind.

What happens if you delete it?

Xcode copies the symbols again the next time you debug on a device running that version; the first session takes longer to start. Nothing else is lost.

How to remove it properly

Quit Xcode, open ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/visionOS DeviceSupport with Go › Go to Folder… in Finder, and move older version folders to the Trash, keeping the newest one.

Quit the app that uses it, then move it to the Trash. Empty the Trash when you’re sure.

  • MoreRoom keeps the newest 1 and suggests the older ones.
