Xcode 6 Beta 1 with Yosemite beta 6

Wanted to try out some Swift tuts. So decided to open the Xcode which I have downloaded during July.

But I'm continuously getting following error on my Xcode 6 beta one.

Unable to boot the iOS Simulator

This issue is discussed here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24023029/error-opening-ios-simulator-with-ios-8-beta-version-unable-to-boot-the-ios-sim

But none of the solutions helped me. I even reinstalled it.

Next move would be to download xcode 6's latest download. But don't want to waste another 2.5 GB to get the similar error message again.

Anyone else had the similar issue here?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jay

If I were you, I'd delete Xcode 6 Beta 1 and update to the latest Beta (which is Beta 6 (or it might be Beta 5.. I forget)), anyway. Not only do you have the possibility of your problem being solved, but Swift and its compiler has already evolved a lot since Beta 1 (a fair amount of Beta 1's syntax is already deprecated), so you really should stay on the bleeding edge

Thanks Michael.

You are absolutely correct. The new beta 6 not only solved the issues but also fixed the compiler issues in the playground.

Thanks again Jay

If I'm Reading you right it sounds like you are using a beta version; if thats true my advise would be install a version that has been completely debugged and see if that works. Hope this helps.

What he's trying to do is run an app he wrote in Swift, which is only available in the beta version right now. It's not supported in Xcode 5.1.1, which is the latest stable
