Solutions

Question : How to solve Xcode 12.3 iOS 14.3 simulators Yellow Dock/Yellow translucent issues.

Answer : Here is we are facing this error because of a bug related to the discrete GPU. We can solve this error by Using integrated GPU and by Reducing Transparency. Follow Below solutions.

Solution 1 : Using integrated GPU

  1. In the simulator, set menu File → GPU Selection → Prefer Integrated GPU to work around this bug.
  2. Restart the simulator.

Solution 2 : Reduce transparency

  1. In the simulated device (e.g. iPhone), Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → turn on Reduce Transparency.
  2. Notice that it can only reduce the previous ‘solid’ yellow to ‘fairly light’.
  3. I find this workaround, as the discrete GPU can be used, is more suitable for testing the UI logic than the previous solution.
  4. This was tested on a MacBook Pro with Catalina. Might work on iMac.

Solution 3 : following ways.

  1. Unplug all cables, including the charging cable
  2. Restart the iOS simulator
