Question

Create a SwiftUI app on an M1 machine
Run it on simulator
Create a Widget Extension target
Try to run it in simulator.

I get this error:

Any ideas?

I have the same problem now. Did you make any progress on this, yet? — baumstumpf, Nov 15 '21 at 07:26
It did run in my device, but couldn't use previews, so development was so slow. — Lio, Nov 19 '21 at 15:46

In the build settings for your widget target, remove arm64 from "Excluded Architectures". That fixed it for me.

Can't claim credit; someone mentioned it here:
