Error from Debugger: Failed to launch simulated application: iPhone Simulator failed to install the application.

I got the error below when attempting to Build and Go in XCode.

Error from Debugger: Failed to launch simulated application: iPhone Simulator failed to install the application.

My app wouldn’t launch in the iPhone Simulator and the console has little or no feedback.

I went through a few steps to fix this, firstly I tried to Clean All Targets but that didn’t work. What I did that worked was:

  • Close the iPhone Simulator
  • Open the terminal and execute
    sudo rm -Rfv ~/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator

Should work now when you Build and Go again.
