18,015 PointsError message when compiling CrystalBall app
Hi,
I recently started the CrystalBall app tutorial in the iOS Development track. I have done nothing to the project besides creating it, and every time I try to compile it I get the following error message:
"iOS Simulator failed to install the application."
Also, the default background color for the Storyboard is set to white but what I get is a black background color.
It should be noted that I use Xcode 5.0.2 and my deployment target is iOS 7.0. I don't get the error message when compiling to iOS versions below iOS 7. Apple wrote in its release notes for Xcode 5.0.2 that it resolved some issues related to the iOS Simulator, but clearly not this particular issue.
Is anybody experiencing this issue now? If so, have you found any fix for it?

from the menubar in Xcode, click on product>>clean
sometimes doing a product clean handles those weird errors in Xcode.

18,015 PointsI had already tried that, but with no luck.
What fixed my issue was reinstalling Xcode. Now it works like a charm.
