nsurlsessiond hogging on internet when running iOS simulator

Solution 1:

Either one of these will fix it.

rm /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/libexec/nsurlsessiond
rm /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/libexec/nsurlsessiond

If you can't find the nsurlsession binary at these places, I'd suggest you do a search using Finder, or grab the path using htop
