Error spawning child process: Bad CPU type in executable

4) command

xcodebuild -scheme QA -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'name=iPhone 6' test

here output:

 iPhoneSimulator: Timed out waiting 120 seconds for simulator to boot, current state is 1.

Answer 1

For me simply rebooting the Mac resolved the

Could not launch simulator: -600

error.

Answer 2

Error spawning child process: Bad CPU type in executable

That indicates that the executable was built for an incorrect architecture. Given that you're running in an iPhone 5 Simulator, your executable will need to be built for i386.

If that is not the problem, please provide more of the build log to show how your executable is being built, linked, and installed.
