Incremental build changes in Xcode 16?

Hi there!

Was there a change in Xcode regarding incremental builds / updating an active Simulator with a new build? We use xcodebuild to manage our internal build framework and out of the sudden, incremental builds are not launched anymore and the Simulator is stuck waiting for the new build to be launched. This was not happening for the last 10+ years.

If there is an xcodebuild flag and/or guide of this new behavior, it would help a lot.

Thanks everyone!
