Error opening iOS Simulator with iOS 8 beta version: "Unable to boot the iOS Simulator"
After I found some solutions on the web, a combination of procedures worked for me:
Close Xcode and iOS Simulator (and all related applications)
Install (or reinstall) Xcode6-Beta to Applications folder (direct from the .dmg file)
Open Xcode6-Beta and go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations -> Command Line Tools and select "Xcode 6.0" (be sure that you've selected the one in Applications folder)
Launch the iOS Simulator and go to iOS Simulator -> Reset Content and Settings...
Close all the applications and restart your mac (I unchecked "Reopen windows...")
Open Xcode6-beta and test the iOS Simulator
Good luck
I also had this problem and found the solution by doing following steps:
Initially i downloaded Xcode 6 library in Documentation section under the path Xcode --> Preferences --> Downloads and restart my xcode but didn't solve my problem.
Downloaded and installed the iOS 7.1 Simulator under the path Xcode --> Preferences --> Downloads. Restart xcode again and the problem solved.
I am facing same issue again next morning. Unsetting the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES variable solves my problem:-
- Open terminal and type "sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf" command and press Enter
Press I "Insert" mode and change this
"setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib"
to this
"unsetenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib"
and press esc to exit from insert mode.
- Save changes by typing ":wq" Press Enter
- Reboot your system and problem soloved.
Prior to that I didn't find any iOS version in front of each listed devices but after installation or by unsetting DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES variable I found the same in front of each device.
I solved by removing and re-adding the simulators see screenshots here.
