I am currently working on an iPhone app using Xcode 11.3.1 (Swift 5) running on a Catalina virtual machine. Periodically, when I build I will get errors that Xcode can't find modules that it had no trouble finding a few minutes ago. If I close the workspace and re-open, Xcode says it's indexing. Most of the time this fixes the problem. Sometimes I have close/re-open more than once.
The modules that I've had trouble with are GoogleSignIn and iOSDropDown. I also have Firebase installed, but so far I haven't seen the error from that one.
I have deleted derived data, and deintegrated/reinstalled my cocoapods. Since I closed the workspace to do both of those the problem was fixed temporarily, but returned.
Doing a clean build (shift-cmd-K) does not fix the problem.
Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening or at least how I can force a re-index (assuming that's what fixes things temporarily) without closing the workspace?
Thanks for any help.
Maybe try: go to your podfile, then there's a line use_frameworks! make that a comment I assume this would solve your issue.
I have a source code of a swift application which developed for iOS using swift 3.
I want to run it inside Xcode however it remains in loading state forever.
I have tried solutions provided in question Xcode freezes on startup while loading project however the situation did not change.
The developer of this source code told me that he used Xcode 9.x to develop application so he suggested me to try a 9.x version of Xcode. I guess Xcode should be backward compatible however I want to know does using Xcode 9.x changes the situation or I should look for reason somewhere else?
Using answer in apple.stackexchange.com did the trick:
Removing the ~/Library/Saved Application
State/com.apple.dt.Xcode.savedState/directory might help.
I tried all the solutions outlined here and none of them worked. However, I managed to fix this issue and here is what worked for me: If you're on an Apple OS and have iCloud sync enabled on your desktop/documents/any folder where you're loading Xcode from, the iCloud sync could be causing this issue.
I installed a fresh copy of my RN project in a directory not synced by iCloud and subsequently the issue was resolved; my build-time was down to a couple of seconds!
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/xcode
in terminal worked for me, based on this answer
As of July, 2022, nothing else worked for me but, taking my project outside of the iCloud Drive and putting it into a directory without it. As it is mentioned above, iCloud sync interferes with the XCode running and stalls it.
I wasted almost 2 hrs and tried everything on stack over flow
SIMPLE SOLUTION
Just turn OFF icloud from your mac os so that it it will not sync the project.
To turn off icloud
Go to setting
Icloud
turn off sync
Thats all enjoy
I tried to delete:
~/Library/Developer/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
~/Library/Developer/Saved Application State/com.apple.dt.Xcode.savedState
~/workspace/MyProject.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata
and once it helped. But another time it didn't help, so I also tried to reinstall Xcode, which also didn't help.
It turned out that the problem was that I was installing the app via WiFi or Bluetooth. When I connected my device via cable, the Xcode popped up to life and the "loading forever" stopped.
My xcode got hang when I force quit it. After that it was showing only "loading".
Here is fix to start xcode from beginning.
cd /
cd Applications
cd Xcode.app
cd Contents/MacOS
sudo ./Xcode
it will open xcode default window to open a new project.
I am currently running 2 versions of xcode. I recently upgraded from
9.3 to 9.4.1 and also xcode 10 beta 6 on High Sierra v.10.13.6. The
simulators seem to work fine in xcode 10 beta 6 but are completely
missing from 9.4.1 I have downloaded and installed additional
simulators which show up in the simulators window list, however they
are not added to the drop downs in the main project window and the devices list remains empty. I wondered
if its simply that I have messed up something in the installation. I
have tried to remove everything and reinstall and got the same problem.
Any advice would be great. If anyone who is also running two versions could recommend
also optimum set up with installation etc. I can
post more detail as required. I have added screen shots please follow
the links.

I had a similar issue. If I created a new account on the same system that new account did not have the same issues. This lead me to believe it was a user preferences issue.
Some of the advice for fixing this involves deleting all Xcode files and re-installing from scratch. Try the solution below to see if it works for you since it’s much faster and less work.
Quit any running version of Xcode
Delete the folder: ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator
You can see from the attached screen shot there is a device_set.plist file. Deleting this file alone doesn’t help so delete the entire directory it’s inside of.
Launch Xcode
Select Preferences and go to the “Components” tab.
Download ANY new simulator
Once downloaded you should see all of your simulators showing up. It seems to be the process of downloading a new simulator rebuilds the list of installed simulators.
Note I tried downloading a new simulator w/out throwing away the above directory to see if this would rebuild the list of simulators but it did not work.
I've a project that uses Swift 4.1, Cocoapods and has some unit tests. These tests were visible on Xcode 9.3, after I updated it to Xcode 9.4 the test navigator gets stuck and even deleting the derived folder, cleaning the project, reinstalling the software and restarting the Mac does not solve this issue. Must be a misconfiguration on the project (but I didn't change anything).
Any idea what I can do?
(Image has been resized)
Managed to solve the issue:
Simply uninstall all entries of Xcode following this answer this answer and install Xcode 9.4 again.
I came across this issue with Xcode 10.2.1 and solved it by making sure all my code was checked in and pushed, then creating a new sandbox (I'm using git).
That was easier than trying to figure out what Xcode files were causing the issue.
Check if you have disabled xcode indexing. if you have delete it using the terminal command
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEIndexDisable
Then restart your xcode. It worked for me.
Problem
Unlike people have asked at here and
here, I got this error after a brand new installation of Leopard (hackintosh), this problem really driving me crazy and nowhere else to find an clue, I googled and visited every article related with this, still can't get it solved.
After the first time install iPhone SDK 2.2.1, start a new project(any type, Navigate based, OpenGL ES application), then build and go, I got the following problem:
sometime it's:
Failed to launch simulated application: Unknown error.
and sometimes it's:
Failed to launch simulated application: iPhone Simulator failed to find the process ID of com.yourcompany.[application name]
It seems that apps in the simulator crashed immediately, so Xcode can find the process ID.
Solution
This link says that this even can't be solved. Some others make a detailed step by step:
Uncheck Info.plist
Quit XCode
Delete directory /Lib/Caches/com.apple.DeveloperTools.###
Open Xcode project
Clean All Targets
Rebuild
and I reset the iPhone Simulator. This also didn't solve the problem…
I've even tried uninstall the SDK and reinstall it, still got the same error…
Is this a problem related with hardwares? or the operating system version? I'm using a hackintosh (iDenebv1.4 10.5.6), all other software works good including iTunes && vmware fusion.
Great thanks for any further tips or clues!
FIXED For the issue:
iPhone Simulator failed to find the process ID of com.yourcompany.[your application name]
I was having an issue building and simulating a project I built under OS Version 2.2.1, which I could no longer get to build and run in the simulator for XCode 3.1.4, even though I forced XCode to build for "Simulator - 2.2.1 Debug"
I was able to get past this problem by:
- Close the iPhone Simulator
- Putting XCode into View->Detail
- Opening the "Info.plist" file in the "Resources" folder
- Near the top of the file you should see "Info.plist" with and up/down arrow selector
- Click on the up/down arrow selector
- Select "Clear File History"
Built For:
Simulator - 2.2.1
XCode Version:
3.1.4 (Which includes OS3.1 Beta 3)
I had the same issue last night, and suddenly my system got reboot. At that moment, i was trying to install an application into simulator. When system returned, and i tried again to install the app, it said, "Failed to launch simulated application"
Than i did googled it, and tried many solutions, like cleaining all targets and try building again, but didn't worked out.
So i have found the following link, where it is described, how to reset the iPhone Simulator contents:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/iphone_development/125-Using_iPhone_Simulator/iphone_simulator_application.html
I tired doing it, and you guys would'nt believe me, it worked :) ,
Solution was : "To set the user content and settings of the simulator to their factory state and remove the applications you have installed, choose iPhone Simulator > Reset Content and Settings"
Best of Luck to all.............. :)
This ends up being a product name issue:
The fix is to revert back to
${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
${PRODUCT_NAME}
for the executable file and com..${PRODUCT_NAME} in the info.plist.
Clean XCode, Quit, rese and quit simulator and you're good to go.
found some wierd log in /var/log/system.log.

Here is a discussion about how to run app in simulator via command line, hope it helps to understand how does xcode and simulator works.
But I didn't work it out.
Well, I "solved" it by install another distribution of hackintosh(IPC 10.5.6), works perfect!
In my case, I was adding a target to an existing app that had always worked. In my case, I had forgotten to select all the source code, xibs, frameworks, etc. and click their target checkbox. My clue was that the build happened instantaneously, which didn't make any sense. It never built anything. It just failed to install in the simulator. Once I included all the source files, etc., for the new target, then it built and installed fine.
I had the same problem, I fixed it by launching the simulator through another app and deleting the app I was trying to run on it. Then try to build and run and worked perfect.
Cheers
Matt
I had the same problem. I had accidentally added my info.plist file to my target and it was getting copied to the app bundle every time I built the application. So there were 2 .plist files in the bundle - mine and the Info.plist, created by XCode - which confused the simulator.
Simply delete the app from the simulator (and/or device if you're attempting to run on your device) via the UI of the simulator, then shut the simulator down and attempt to re-run the app. Doing the deletion of the actual files backing the simulator will also remove the app and do the same thing (but the deletion via the simulator's UI, if it works for you, is a little bit faster and easier).
Is your CPU Intel, and, of a model distributed in Apple hardware?
I doubt the Simulator will work reliably (if at all) on non-Intel CPUs and/or in VMWare. The simulator is very CPU specific in order to reflect the arm hardware of the iPhone.
The SDK ONLY supports Intel hardware from Apple.
There is a significant effort involved in creating the simulator and it's not easy or cheap (read, thousands of man hours) to support every CPU.
I fixed this problem by removing the "Icon already includes gloss and bevel effect" property from the Info.plist file in my project.
My problem centered around a Product Name the simulator simply wouldn't accept. Picking alternative names got me past the problem. Changing the name back to the original suspect choked the simulator every time.
Try moving the project to your local hard driver and opening it from there! That solved the issue for me (the project used to be stored on a samba share).
My fix:
restarted the Mac and it was fixed. (before that tried clearing caches, deleting caches from iPhone Simulator, cleaning, rebuilding, quitting OS, quitting Simulator, nothing worked.) Restarting the OS worked.
This was bugging me too but finally got it working.
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce what I did it but here's my list of actions for your information.
The project causing the problem was one I'd downloaded from Apple and tweaked.
Interestingly, I could still launch my own projects fine.
So, here's a list of actions that I did (note that none of the actions below worked just by itself):
- closing the simulator and doing "clear file history"
- restarting simulator
- rebooting
- restarting xcode
- resetting the iPhone with Reset Content and Settings
However, by the time I'd tried all of the above with a fresh version of the code I'd downloaded - it was working again. Just out of interest, I dragged the project that was causing this problem back to the desktop and it was OK now.
Wow, what a pain. I had to uninstall XCode 4 via the command line and then install XCode 3 again. Make sure that you restart after you reinstall. Working...
why anybody didn't tell about restarting simulator.
In my case,
Resetting the iPhone with Reset Content and Settings
and
**ReStart Simulator**
works well~
I had the exact same problem - I reset the iphone simulator and then quit the simulator then started it again.
