Updated xcode to 6.0.1, ios 8 simulator unable to boot.

I tried in xcode preferences, under download tap, I can only see ios7 simulator and ios 7.1 simulator, no ios 8 simulator available to download from there, I was able to download ios 7 or 7.1 simulator and run test app on simulator, but can't find the way how to make it work with ios8 simulator, does anyone as any ideas?:(

here is my system crash report:

Tyr going to the Window menu and selecting 'Devices'. In the window that appears there is a '+' button at the bottom left. You can use this to add more simulator devices hopefully including the iOS 8 ones.

  • I tried that, I can see ios8 simulator in xcode, but when I run it, simulator can't boot. tried to delete everything there and add again, still doesn't work. I also tried to restart the macbook, reinstalled xcode as well, but still no luck:( – App07 Sep 21 '14 at 18:09
  • Are there any messages, and are there any messages in Console? – James Snook Sep 21 '14 at 18:10
  • the only message I got from simulator is "unable to boot simulator", The message I got from xcode"An error was encountered while running (Domain = DTiPhoneSimulatorErrorDomain, Code = 2)" – App07 Sep 21 '14 at 18:17

  • I have seen that and tried all the solutions there, still not working. even when I create a test project with just helloworld, still doesn't work for ios simulators:( – App07 Sep 21 '14 at 18:33

Do you have any crash logs (eg: launchd_sim crashes) in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports? If so, can you provide one of them?

Is there anything interesting in ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/CoreSimulator.log?

The issue is that you have DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib in your environment. What is this for?

The iOS 8 simulator will not work on OS X Mavericks if you try to inject host dylibs into the process via DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES. OS X Yosemite has software changes that will work around this problem and just log the issue rather than crashing.

I suggest that you either upgrade to OS X Yosemite or simply unset DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES (and/or uninstall the rest of the software that is associated with libimckit.dylib).

To make sure that DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES is not set, edit /etc/launchd.conf or $HOME/.launchd.conf (eg: sudo nano -w /etc/launchd.conf). Look for a relevant 'setenv' line, delete it, save, and reboot your system.
