Simulator bug where SF Symbols are not showing up in UIKit (but work in SwiftUI)

Question

I'm running into a very bizarre bug in the iOS Simulator, see title.

On first run of a new Simulator instance, the SF Symbol(s) appear for both SwiftUI and UIKit, but then after restarting the app and/or the Simulator instance, they no longer do for UIKit views only.

I can't figure out why this is happening and the only workaround is to delete that Simulator instance and recreate it.

Has anyone else run into this?

If you are using a simulator with the latest SDK of Xcode, try checking if the issue is present in previous versions of iOS — Blazej SLEBODA, Apr 09 '23 at 17:39
Yeah it shows up in 15.5 and 16.4 alike in the Simulator. It's super weird. — Ben Guild, Apr 09 '23 at 20:57

If you only want to use SF Symbols then you can use it through code

UIImage(systemName: "star")

And you can watch out for all the SF symbols by SF Symbols Icon
