iOS widget always displaying placeholder on simulator or device

Question

I'm made an very basic iOS Widget Extension with (on iOS 16):

struct TotoView: View 
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Toto")
                .font(.headline)
        }
    }
} 

struct TotoWidget: Widget {
    var body: some WidgetConfiguration {
        IntentConfiguration(kind: "myKind", intent: ViewTodayIntent.self, provider: TimelineProvider()) { entry in
        TotoView(entry: entry)
    }
    .configurationDisplayName("Today work")
    .description("Show today work sessions")
    .supportedFamilies([.systemSmall, .systemMedium])
    }
}

On the SwiftUI Canvas preview, I can see the "Toto" text.

BUT when I select the Widget Target and run in the simulator, I only have the placeholder in place of text. Any idea of why? Note that not only the text is replaced by placegholder but also an Image(systemName:)

I think the issue seems to be related by IntentConfiguration (as everything works fine with StaticConfiguration)

I'm on xCode 14.

In my case worked well on ios 14. On ios 16 and maybe on ios 15 it has been broken. iPhoneX — Nike Kov, Jul 12 '23 at 06:42

In my Case it helped to change the Simulator. The Bug is still in my case on an iPhone 11 Simulator and on a real iPhone 11.

With other Simulators it works well.

Maybe its an issue with an iPhone 11.
