I hope this helps!

42,016 PointsAs patrick said deleting the app and then building again sometimes fixes it. Closing the simulator then building again sometimes works. I usually just switch between the iPhone 4 and 5 simulators when I get this error. This error happens every so often and appears to be a problem with the simulator itself, not your code or anything. Ive looked on SO for a reason why but no one seems to know why this happens, just simple fixes.
