Xamarin.iOS application failed to run on simulator(Probably after last Xamarin.iOS update)

Question

iOS apps are not starting in iPhone simulator(iPhone 5 - iOS 10.0 used ). There are errors from logs CoreSimulator.log :

mlaunch[1482] <Error>: Error Domain=FBSOpenApplicationServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "The request to open "com.xamarin.acquaint-native" failed." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The request to open "com.xamarin.acquaint-native" failed., BSErrorCodeDescription=RequestDenied, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fe15ceb7540 {Error Domain=FBSOpenApplicationErrorDomain Code=1 "(null)" UserInfo={BSErrorCodeDescription=Unspecified}}, NSLocalizedFailureReason=The request was denied by service delegate (SBMainWorkspace) for reason: Unspecified.}

System.log(Debug mode from Xamarin Studio or VS 2015) :

The log above are for acquaint pre build application. I tried several other application, the same story. It used to work fine. I am using latest Xamarin iOS SDK update(that maybe the issue)

Answer 1

Got same problem with a new project and the latest Xamarin. To fix it I had to change "Supported architectures" to "i386" in the project options. The default was "x86_64".

Answer 2

Do you have the latest version of Xcode? You won't be able to simulate on IOs 10 unless you have Xcode 8.2 (or 8.1, not sure) installed on your Mac station.
