Simulator keeps crashing in Xcode 4.4

Question

When ever I run my app in Xcode 4.4 the simulator fails to open, "iOS Simulator quit unexpectedly." It runs on perfectly on the device though.

This worked for me as well, also with the recent OSX Mountain Lion update it works in Xcode 4.4 as well – Pittance

Answer 2

You may have had a bad build on the Simulator, which is now messing things up.

• Clean your code (Product > Clean in XCode)
• Reset your simulator settings (iOS Simulator menu > Reset Content and Settings)

That should do it.

how do you reset the iphone simulator – Pittance

Click on "iOS Simulator" from Menu. Then click on "Rest content and Setting". Then Click on "Reset" – Askwith

unfortunately the simulator never opens so I'm unable to reset – Pittance

I can't find the simulator application anywhere – Pittance

With Xcode 4.4 the path to the simulator application is /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app. With other Xcode versions the path may be different. – Thumb

Answer 4

Reboot the simulator ..... sometimes some apps remain in the memory.... Otherwise reinstall it ... some data could be corrupt... :)
