If you press the home button does the icon for the app show in the simulator?

It can sometimes take a while to load the first time as it is compiling all the resources. Try a clean build and see if that helps.

Go to the General settings in your project by clicking on the .xcodeproj in the Navigator pane on the left-hand side. Make sure "Main Interface" section under "Deployment Info" has your main storyboard selected. If that doesn't work, upload your project to dropbox or something similar so I can sift through it.
