I am trying to use Zombies with my Xcode iOS project. When I click on the red button, I select the simulator I'm using, but then it takes me into what looks like is my mac folders directory. I wonder if I'm supposed to find the "Simulator" app, if there is such a thing. I found in the Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Runtimes/ three items that say "iOS ..simruntime, but there is not one that represents the iOS version my Simulator is running.
I'm not sure I'm even on the right track. I think I was able to get right as far as clicking the red button while my project is running in simulator. What should I do once I do that and the window appears to select an "app"?

I recently downloaded the Xcode 8 beta. When I try to open the simulator, it gets stuck on the black Apple screen and I get a crash message for "SpringBoard".
Any ideas? I'm happy to edit if I left out anything.
Thanks in advance!
This is a known issue that is mentioned in the release notes and is related to issues in the download and install process. If you don't follow the installation instructions exactly, you can trip over this issue.
The workaround is rather straight forward:
Using Finder, copy (DON'T MOVE) Xcode-beta.app from /Applications to ~/Desktop
Delete /Applications/Xcode-beta.app
Move Xcode-beta.app from Desktop back to /Applications
I had a similar problem which, with a bit of googling, I managed to solve as it happened with the Xcode 6 Betas too. First of all, make sure that your Xcode-Beta.app is in the Application folder of your computer. Then go Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations. In "Command Line Tools" you will probably find that you have Xcode 7 selected. This is a problem that occurs with having 2 Xcode versions installed. Change it to Xcode 8.
After this, the simulators were still broken for me, so I went to Xcode -> Window -> Devices and delete all of the simulators. Then try a full reboot of your computer. Reopen the devices page and add in the simulators that you would like, and then right click on the Xcode app in your dock, and go "Open Developer Tool -> Simulator". Check that it now boots correctly. If its working so far, then you should be good to run your application. Otherwise try yet another reboot, just to make sure Xcode is refreshed.
Hopefully this solves your problem like it did mine, let me know if not.
SpringBoard failed to launch application with error: 0
If you get above issue make your simulator active window and follow step showed below in picture..
Note : It will delete all app from simulator..
Where do these five images come from?
They seem to be installed on all iOS simulators when launched via Xcode 6. Even after resetting the simulator they show up.
I ask because I want to depend on these images being there for automated testing but can't track down where they are coming from.
They come from the sample content that is installed when simulators are created or erased. This content is located in the simruntime bundle.
See /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 8.1.simruntime/Contents/Resources/SampleContent
I only use the iOS simulator for testing websites, not actual apps. Today I opened it up and it keeps asking me for an app for it to simulate. If I click cancel, it just quits the simulator.
I've tried deleting preference files, but I'm just not familiar enough with the simulator to know what's going on. How can I just get this back to normal, or satisfy this dialog?
I think you could try the menu
iOS Simulator -> Reset Content and Settings...
This would clean your simulator storage.
Update
According to this link, Cleaning up the iPhone simulator
move to path
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/{6.0 / 6.1}
You could try to clean it manually
I have currently switched to Xcode 4.5.1(iOS 6 SDK). My doubt is, whether at the same time can we install multiple simulator versions to test our app?
Open up Xcode Preferences (Xcode->Preferences), then click on Downloads. You should be able to download previous versions of the simulator from there.
You can then choose which one to use by using the dropdown menus near the top left next to the "Run" and "Stop" buttons.
I've searched Google for about 1,5h now and i can't find a good answer.
Is it possible to display the Soft Keyboard when debugging using ADL?
If i use the existing properties I still don't see it.
I want to check if my layout looks well when the Soft Keyboard appears, but for some reason I don't see it coming in ADL (Adobe Debug Launcher).
I don't have a tablet to test it on for now so that isn't a solution.
Am i doing something wrong whereby I don't see the soft keyboard or doesn't it exist in ADL?
ADL is just the Flex debugger program. When I use ADL to launch my app on an Android device; there are no issues getting the soft keyboard to show up. When I use ADL to launch an app in an emulator, I have never seen the soft keyboard come up. This is not supported with the emulator included with Flex / Flash Builder.
In my experience the availability of the soft keyboard depends on the context you're running the app in (Debugger vs Device) and has nothing to do w/ ADL.
Does that answer your question?
