Application crashes while restarting again after a manual kill - iphone

I am working on my first application for iPhone and I'm facing this weird problem for quite some time now.
Whenever i kill my application manually and then again try to restart, it crashes immediately with error:
Thread 1: Program received signal: "SIGKILL"
But when I again recompile and launch my application, it works just fine. Can't i just make my application to start from the same settings with which it launches when i compile and run.
I'm new to iPhone development and i think i'm missing something grave here. Will appreciate your help on this.
Thanks in advance!

So you are running the app from Xcode. If you run it from Xcode and quit it manually(not from Xcode) and try to run it from Xcode, you will receive this exception. No need to bother about this exception.
It seems to be a bug in Xcode. When you quit the application manually, no signal/intimation is sent to Xcode that the app quit running. So, Xcode thinks that app is still running. When you try to relaunch it from Xcode, it throws the exception.
I don't know the technical reason for this. May be when you relaunch the app after killing it manually, Xcode thinks that app is still running and tries to stop it before relaunching it, and throws the exception there.

Xcode shows popup but there is no errors

Working with my application It goes well but has met into a problem with Xcode. When I try to run the application on the iPhone simulator this message always pops up:
"A coordinated app install already exists for com.apk.ios with intent IXCoordinatorIntentUpdating (creator InstallCoordination Simple SPI) but request by CoreSimulatorBridge (pid 677) was for intent IXCoordinatorIntentInitiating"
What is wrong? There are no errors when trying to build the app. Has tried to clean the build.
Erasing all content and settings is not always necessary as #user3344236 stated.
Please make sure to delete the app that you are trying to install from the iOS Simulator. That'll probably solve your problem.
Why this occurs?
In my case something went wrong while Xcode is trying to install the app on the simulator. Everything is frozen and I had to restart the Mac manually.
Found a solution that works for me:
Reason:
Either the App store or something else tool is downloading the same app with the same identifier at the time Xcode is trying to launch the same app on the Simulator or on MAC.
Solution:
Need to stop/delete all the running installs of the app with the same identifier. (How to stop -> that can be figured out to see either App Store or any other tool ) Then try again to launch the app with Xcode, this time it succeeds.
No need to Reboot the simulator/ Mac or reinstall Xcode.
Thanks, Hope this will help someone.

xcode 4.5 app can not run in device No such a file directory error [duplicate]

I'm getting a weird bug on Xcode 4.5. When i tried to run my application on Ipad 2 from xcode with iOS 6, I'm getting this error.
I done the following methods to run the application, but no luck.
Cleaned the project and run
Restarted the device
Restarted xcode
I have a valid certificate in my machine and the application is installing on the device but it's not launching automatically. What could be the issue ?
Thanks in advance
That is really annoying. This error happens in a number of different situations. Sometimes restarting the Xcode, fixes the problem. If not, follow these steps:
Disconnect your device.
Delete the app from your device.
Quit Xcode (Do not just simply close the window, quit it)
Delete derived data folder (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/-gbrvhlvwmpiobxdujegtghggrffp - or something like that)
Now start Xcode once again, connect device and run the project. It should work fine.

iPhone - when testing on device

Couldn't register com.companyname.myapplicationname with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code. This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger.Program received signal: “SIGABRT”
I tried removing the app from the simulator, doing a clean build but I still get this error when I try to run the app.
What should I do to be able to run the app on my simulator again?
Try restarting your device, resetting your device if possible, restart Xcode, restart your Mac, clear the Xcode cache and project cache, make a project clean etc.
Some of this should help.

Xcode 4.4: another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger

I have seen this similar question on SO in a few places but all of them are related to Simulator and old Xcode version. For examples, Error: unknown error code. this process was already running or is hung in the debugger and Error when testing on iOS simulator: Couldn't register with the bootstrap server
I have never seen this error before until I upgraded my Xcode to 4.4. It works fine on the simulator but not on an iPhone. I have also upgraded Xcode to 4.4.1 today but no luck. How to get rid of this error on an iPhone?
Couldn't register com.mycompany.myapp with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code.
This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger.
Restart both Xcode and iDevice.
Yes, if restarting xcode doesn't work, restart your MAC & restart your iPhone - it worked even in xCode 4.3. In xCode 4.4 it seems to happen less often.
My experience is that restarting is not required anymore with Xcode 4.4
Just close and restart. If the normal closing won't work press ctrl+alt+esc and exit xcode immediately.
Unfortunately there is no other way to prevent this (expect if you are hammering on run ;) )
See this post on fixing the bootstrap errors.

failed to send the qLaunchSuccess packet

I am using XCode 4.3.2 and trying to open an already existing project based on the Facebook SDK sample Project for XCODE and run it on a target IPhone with IOS 4.2.
Although it runs on the simulator it crashes on the IPhone printing this error on the console:
failed to send the qLaunchSuccess packet
I really do not know what could be the problem
This happened to me when I accidentally tried to do a device debug using a distribution profile. As soon as I noticed and switched it to a dev profile, the issue went away.
You might have some broken privileges or a hung debugger process (one that didn't quite exit fast enough). Restart Xcode or restart your phone, either way, it's not as bad as it's more annoying cousin, Processes That Can't Be Registered To The BootStrap Server
If all else fails, restore it from a backup.
In Xcode 4.3.3, this is caused by re-running the app (command+R) or stopping it (command+.) while halted on a breakpoint. To fix the error once you've gotten it, it usually works to stop the app, (command+.), unplug the device, plug it back in, and run the app again.
To avoid the issue in the future, remember to continue (command+control+y or hit the play button near the debugger output) before stopping. If you have many breakpoints or are in a loop, you can deactivate one breakpoint by going to that line and hitting command + \ or you can deactivate all breakpoints by hitting command + y.
If you eventually get the error ending in "This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger," you need to reboot the device.
I submitted a bug report to Apple. I suggest you all do the same so that this gets the attention it deserves.
Edit: the "qLaunchSuccess packet" bug doesn't happen in Xcode 4.4 or 4.5 as it did in 4.3. However, 4.4 and 4.5 experience "Timed out waiting for app to launch" instead--possibly the same issue with a new message. See this question for some possible solutions. Nothing works for met yet. The behavior seems different than 4.3.3 because the error doesn't come up every time I stop while halted on a breakpoint. I will experiment and see if my workaround for 4.3 also fixes the 4.4/4.5 issue.
I get this every time my app crashes, and I restart it by doing a Run. If I hit the Stop button before doing a run then I don't get this.
After some time, if I keep hitting Run instead of Stop first, the iPhone will only show the above error message and the only solution is to restart the iPhone. Quitting and restarting Xcode does not help.
This may be an Xcode bug.
A slightly quicker way to resolve this issue without restarting the device is to change the language.
Settings - > General - > International (4th from bottom) - > Language (top)
Alternatively If you have a bugged News stand app (in a folder) just tap it to restart springboard.
I had this error when I was trying to install over a bad version of the app that had been crashing on launch. Restarting Xcode and the device did not make the error go away, but deleting the app fixed the problem.
