Hello,
Anyone else having problems with the Xcode 6 simulator? I haven't been able to get mine to launch correctly once since starting the Swift App build.
Any recommendations/help is appreciated.
Thank you.

I click run in Xcode, its does it thing, Xcode gives the build Succeed pop up. Then it tires to load up on iOS simulator but the simulator stays black and gives an pop up error "Unable to boot the iOS simulator". Then Xcode gives a similar error: "Unable to run app in Simulator" "An error was encountered while running (Domain = DTiPhoneSimulatorErrorDomain, Code = 2)
About to look this error code up.

The x refers to your current version of Xcode which in the app store is 6.1.

19,560 PointsI actually checked that alread, My version was 6.0.1(6A317). I'm downloading the app store version now since mine was still one of the beta releases. Did it and still no luck

19,560 PointsI have tried just about everything on there. Except this "was NOT enough; had to remove folder ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.0". However my skills with the command line are limited. I havent been able to get anywhere near the files that he is suggesting to be deleted. Any ideas?
Thank you for sticking this out with me

19,560 PointsIf you have any other recommendations im all ears. I tried installing from app store, deleting the devices in the device manager for simulator then putting them back in. I will have to look into it more tomorrow after work.

If that doesn't work, try this Stack Overflow thread

26,676 PointsHi Jordan,
What happens when you attempt to run the simulator? Can you run it by searching for it in spotlight?
