Why is the iOS7 simulator not starting or not starting as it wants ...?

Question

After many problems when starting the iOS 7 simulator (many of the suggestions there ... including reinstalling Xcode5 .. I am trying to run an Apple HelloWorld sample that MUST be a test link.

build first .. it works on the simulator however one day you can see many errors in the simulator console, including the incorrect bunlde one ...

extracted from the simulator console log https://gist.github.com/erwin/7230844

but at least it works ...

obviously this sample is not updated .... so I get a warning

 Oct 30 08:51:26 macMini HelloWorld[1792] <Warning>: Application windows are expected to have a root view controller at the end of application launch 

and I changed the code as a result by adding a root view controller

 [window addSubview:controllersView]; [window setRootViewController:myViewController]; [window makeKeyAndVisible]; 

I clean the Xcode product, I cleaned and reset the simulator, then I closed it .. new build and start ... the simulator is open, but it does not start the HelloWorld application ...

I do not see a crash in the log of the simulator console https://gist.github.com/erwin/7230768 but nothing happens, the simulator seems to be lost in the air .... and there is no clear explanation of HOW TO DO IT TO BE USED CORRECTLY from Apple ...

Answer 1

This may be an incomplete or damaged installation. I would erase and reinstall, and then try to compile and run the sample without changing anything. (I hope the sample (or the first sample) should at least compile and run OK on the simulator.)

Answer 2

You may have had an incomplete update of some basic features. When Apple keeps everything so private, it’s hard to make any real diagnoses. If you haven’t done this yet, I will take him to Apple’s “genius” (their terminology, not sarcasticity), they probably recommend wiping it and starting again.
