Unable to boot the simulator, launchd failed to respond Xcode 10.0

Question

I'm new to iOS development.

I downloaded Xcode 10.1 from AppStore but it had some errors at startup and couldn't show up. So I downgraded Xcode to version 10.0 (10A255) from Apple official downloads. IDE works fine but now I can't start simulator. I've tried every possible solution on the inte.net for hours. Here is the logs:

What can I do?

Answer 1

In my case

Unable to boot the Simulator.
Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain
Code: 60
Failure Reason: launchd failed to respond.

Was fixed by restarting my wifi router which was playing up.

Answer 2

In my case i have to drag the simulator to the trash bin the i relaunch again and it open

Answer 3

I solved it by installing the last update to the SO

Answer 4

In my case clearing derived data helped. You can do it like this:

Open Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations -> Derived Data (Click the little arrow) -> Delete the folder.

Answer 5

Hmm, sad to say but restarting my Mac actually fixed the issue.

Answer 6

1. Right-click on the simulator icon
2. Click on "Options".
3. Click on "Show in Finder"

When the finder is open

4. Right-click on the icon again
5. Then click "Move to bin"

After deleting the simulator

6. Go to your computer bin and restore it

It must work.

You're welcome
