Removed PrivateFrameworks from /Library/Developer/ Xcode crashing on launch - ios

Is there a way to download this /PrivateFrameworks folder back? It seems like this has the framework to make simulator work. I have re-downloaded xcode9 and it does not come back. Also tried re-installing xcode command line tools but this PrivateFrameworks doesnt seem to be part of the Xcode bundle nor the Command Line Tools bundle. Idea's Anyone?

There's no need to get a copy from a friend. The contents of PrivateFrameworks come inside an installer package provided with Xcode starting from version 9. You should have this file as part of your Xcode install, even if you just downloaded Xcode from the App Store.
Just run in your Terminal:
open /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/XcodeSystemResources.pkg
And your PrivateFrameworks folder will magically be back. 🙂

Problem with running IOS simulator for my flutter app

I'm trying to run my flutter app on the IOS simulator and its not working. So tried on the most basic flutter app (create my_app and then tried to run it) and nothing seem to work!
Everything seems to work fine when I run it from the terminal until the linking and signing phase and that where I get the error, how can I fix it?
This is the error I get:
Unable to install
/Users/MyUserName/Desktop/my_app/build/ios/iphonesimulator/Runner.app on
82562E3A-E7BD-4FE0-9BF9-8BB9C7AD5F15. This is sometimes caused by a malformed
plist file:

Error launching application on iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Edit:
I updated my MacOS, Deeleted and reinstalled Xcode, I even tried to run the most simple swift app and I get always this same error, it looks like the build was successful but it unable to install. I still get this same error, what can I do?
This occurred when I opened the Simulator first and then updated XCode -- even without running the app until after XCode updated completely.
What worked for me:
Close Simulator completely (from the dock, right-click -> "Quit")
Close XCode (if applicable)
Run flutter clean
Re-open Simulator
Re-open XCode and let it compile
Run the app again
If it still does not work, try resetting the device at "Device" -> "Erase All Content and Settings..." from the Simulator menu.
I had the same issue a couple of days ago
What I did - and what fixed the problem - was to reset the simulator (Device -> Erase All Content and Settings), and then run $ flutter clean
You should now be able to run your app again
None of the above worked for me. I created another flutter application and copied it's ios folder to my project. Worked like a charm
Save time, just go to erase device content and settings from the emulator, then run flutter clean. App should run fine then.
Run flutter clean and then run your app again
If error persist, generate a new flutter project on Android studio. Replace the ${projectHome}/ios/Runner.xcodeproj folder with the ${newFlutterProjectHome}/iOS/Runner.xcodeproj. Your app should run fine now.
If error persist still, delete the ios folder and replace it with a new one copied from a freshly generated project.
This happens if the GoogleService-Info.plist is missing.
This also happens when you have updated your XCode and your simulator is in the background.
Close the simulator and open the Xcode, you will get an option to install additional tools, install them and then run the application.
An alternate solution is to run the Runner.xcworkspace app once from Xcode and this may fix it.
In my case it was because of hanging empty GoogleService-Info.plist file inside Xcode after migrating to new Firebase (FlutterFire) initialization.
Xcode is not a regular drag and drop IDE which directly maps project files to the ones in the file system. It rather caches file references. So even when you delete a .plist file, the Xcode still maintains a reference to it.
Simply opened Xcode IDE and removed .plist file (which updated project.pbxproj in turn). This helped me to compile the project fine.
I had this same issue recently. I found out I added my GoogleService-info.plist file to the subdirectory Runner and not the main Project directory Runner through xcode. I opened up xcode again, deleted the file and re-added it to the proper place and now everything is working correctly.
for this you have to give some value in CfBundleVersionShortString like
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.0</string>
And Give the build value in Runner as 1.0 and version as 1.0
enter image description here
To be honest. it's really frustrating for the developers
This is how I fixed!
flutter clean
flutter pub get
go to ios folder
rm Podfile.lock
pod repo update
pod install
Then it works!

Firebase integrating into IOS project - No such file or directory

I created a simple multiple view IOS app in Swift 4 using Xcode 9.2. This app is nearly finished and works perfectly in the simulator and on a real IOS device. Before releasing the app, I would like to add some advertisement, analytics and crash recording functionality using Firebase. Therefor, I navigated to the official website and followed the required steps with CocoaPods, as suggested by this website.
What I did:
Project works on device and simulator
Closed Xcode
I installed CocoaPods
Edited the Pod file
Run the Pod file (pod install)
Opened the xcworkspace project with Xcode
Added the GoogleService-Info.plist file to the project
Tried to build the project ---> Shell Script Invocation Error
Showing Recent Errors Only
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PROJECTNAME-epcmbsjxqtkgaqfbhfycbmfcmvxr/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Last:
No such file or directory
No other warning flag are shown, just this error.
Any of you encountered this problem before? If yes, what did you do to solve this?
I tried:
Opening closing Xcode
Cleaning the project
Restarting my mac
Removing DerivedData from the folder pointed in 'workspace settings'
Thanks in advance!
I found the answer: there were spaces in my app project folder and app projects name, Xcode and Cocoapods are not accepting these. I created a new project a project name without spaces, no problems at all! Thanks all for your help!

Failed to launch IBCocoaTouchImageCatalogTool via CoreSimulator spawn

I have an Xcode project which was downloaded from the internet so I don't know which Xcode version was used to write it but the language is Swift 2. I opened it in Xcode 7.1 beta 1 and I get the following compile time error.
Failed to launch IBCocoaTouchImageCatalogTool via CoreSimulator spawn
I deleted the DerviedData foler, cleaned and build the project several times. Tried converting the project to latest Swift syntax but it says there's nothing to convert.
I'm all outta ideas. Suggestions?
The same happened to me and it was solved by cleaning the project. However, if you cleaned it —as you say you did—, I would try closing and reopening Xcode. Even though it seems stupid, it works more often than not.
So After Trying a bit i removed the XCassets file form the Copy Bundle Resources, build once without it and then added it again. Solved it for me.
I had the same issue. My solution was to do the following
Clean the Project
Quit Xcode
Reopen Xcode
Build
That got it working for some reason...
The above answers are correct.
I have a bit similar approach.
After, I use these steps:
Clean the project.
Remove your Assets from your project(Remove References). Run the project without assets. Now the project will show some compile errors, these are not very tricky.
Run the project, this time project run without your assets and may be chances of crash. This ensures that project will run.
Now clean the project and add the assets, now run the project. The project runs successfully.
For me it works. I hope it will be helpful to you.
The only correct solution for me that takes only a moment to perform is to delete ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator and all of its contents. Immediately after this the build completes successfully.
I believe the solutions that state to reinstall Xcode, ultimately refresh the CoreSimulator folder, that's why they are successful in resolving the issue.
I started experiencing the error after having upgraded to MacOS Big Sur, while using Xcode 11.6 and Xcode 11.7.
Possible solution for those struggling with the above answers.
If you've just restored your machine from a time machine backup (migrating from old to new machine), you may want to re-install Xcode.
It doesn't appear to bring the caches or other important settings across properly from the time machine restore.
I've just taken that; what appears to be a drastic step, but it's worked!
Instructions on how to do so: Completely reinstall Xcode 9
-W
I was also facing the same issue tried cleaning and restarting XCODE didn't worked for me,
so I removed xcassets and added the image sets again one by one, and that worked for me.
Had to add a step Airman00's answer.
List item
Clean the Project
Quit Xcode
Delete derived data
Reopen Xcode Build
That got it working for some reason...
Update to XCode 7.1.1 from 7.1 solved my problem.
With XCode 7.1 I used Airman00's solution but suddenly it stop working.
Hope it helps!
If you have this type of error in your project then follow these steps:
Clean the project
And go to storyboard and select any viewController
And Run the project again
This will successfully resolve the error.
Maybe you have just cleaned Logs directory...Then you can try this:
sudo chmod 777 /Users/[YourUserName]/Library/Logs
I had to restart my machine to get this to work. Just in case, here are the exact steps I did:
Clean project
Quick Xcode
Delete Derived Data
Restart machine
Reopen
I had the same problem recently with Xcode 11.4 on Catalina 10.15.4.
Rebooting, cleaning project folders, or deleting the derived data directory did not help. What solved the problem for me was to remove and reinstall Xcode (I use the AppStore version).
It is possible, that I caused the problem myself by reinstalling macOS 10.15.4 via a Combo-Update.
I tried everything . But nothing worked . So i reinstalled Xcode . I took some time . But worked
Xcode 14 beta solution
If you are finding your production Xcode 13 builds aren't working and you have Xcode beta 14 installed you can try this:
Launch Xcode 14 beta 3
Open the Platforms preference pane
Xcode 13 should now work as expected

Reset Xcode 6.3 to its original state

I am new to Xcode.
Recently Xcode on machine is broken.
I am getting error "Unable to boot up iOS simulator"
I tried lot of steps mentioned on stackoverflow and blogs but couldn't get it working.
I am hoping reseting Xcode will fix the problem. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling, Xcode is having previous state.
Is there any way to reset Xcode along with simulators ?
You will need to remove the Xcode.app data from ~/Library/Developer, which can be done from the command line (when Xcode is not running):
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer
You will then need to re-download the SDKs and Documentation from with Xcode. You might also want to check that the Command Line Tools are set-up from Preferences > Locations.
There is no need to reinstall Xcode.app, unless it's become corrupt, as nothing should ever write into the app bundle.
You might want to look at ~/Library/Application Support/Xcode as well, but on my system that folder is empty.

Playground execution terminated because the playground process exited unexpectedly

I want to use a playground in Xcode 6.0.1.
So File -> New -> Playground
I get immediately the error.
Playground execution terminated because the playground process exited unexpectedly.
See image. Restart Xcode didn't helped.
Whats wrong with Xcode?
New Answer:
As #Woomin points out in the comments, first try restarting Xcode and rebooting your Mac, and if that fails try the following:
Try deleting the .simruntime files:
I found them located here in my root directory:
Old Answer:
If the above doesn't work try removing everything in the Developer folder located at /Library/Developer/. If this still doesn't work try removing everything in ~/Library/Developer/. If this still doesn't solve it remove xcode with AppCleaner and reinstall it using the MAS version. I found that doing this last thing solved the issue but it came back when I installed the simulators from xcode's download tab. Removing the .simruntime files finally solved it for me. BTW, I'm using version 7.2.
A restart of the mac solves the problem. What causes the issue is still unknown.
Thanks smileBot's answer. I am able to make it work with 7.2 too. I did try differently.
I installed Xcode 7.2 release version via downloading. However it had problem mentioned above. I first deleted the Xcode 7.2 via AppCleaner completely. Empty the trash. Also cleaned the derived data using WatchDog for Xcode And then restart the machine. Try again, it did not work.
So I went ahead deleted the folder ~/Library/Developer/ and then restart, try again, I can use Playground again in Xcode 7.2 again.
Xcode 7.2 and Mac os x 10.11.2
Restart Xcode or mac does not worked for me.
I solve this problem is that delete the Simulator Profiles. The Path is ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes. Delete all Runtimes. Than Restart the Xcode, problem has been solved.
Install Command line tools using command
xcode-select --install
then u will get an update in Appstore install that app Problem will be solved.
OSX 10.11.2 and Xcode 7.2
I had gotten a reply to his from a member on the Apple Developer Forum and wanted to provide some additional information on my fix for this. First I deleted the ~/Library/Developer folder as indicated. Looking into it it had the some Simulator Profiles. I didn't know what that had to do with the Playground issue so I did NOT empty the Trash. I rebooted and the playground worked.
I put back the folder and the playground had the issues again. I one by one removed the simulator profiles in the sub directory ultimately removing ALL of the profiles without deleting the ~/Library/Developer folder structure and the Playground works.
With Xcode 7.2 (7C68) i had the same problem. I'd solve it by changing the entry of the runtime value from com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-9-1 to com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-9-2. I'd changed it in the device.plist. In ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/XCPGDevices/ is one or more folder with a UUID as name. In one of this folders is the current device.plist.
It's not necessary to delete manually Developer's folder. Just follow this steps in Command Line (CL).
Quit Xcode.app, Simulator.app and all Xcode related and then in CL:
sudo killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService
rm -rf ~/Library/*/CoreSimulator
A restart of Xcode solves the problem , most of the times . (Do remember to quit from the dock too)
If that doesn't work a restart of Mac is all that is required
This happened to me and I found that the platform setting wasn't set for my playground. Probably because the playground was created in a previous version of XCode which didn't require it.
Solution:
Double click on your playground to open it in XCode and wait for the fail message.
Dismiss the message (it may appear more than once) and do the following
1.Select to show the project navigator pane.
2.Select the workspace in the navigator.
3.Select to show the Utilities pane.
4.In the playground settings area of the Identity inspector. Select OSX (or iOS)
It is ok when Change the platform to "OS X" from inspector, but problem when back to "iOS". I don't know why...in Xcode7 Beta.
Plus, it is ok in my Xcode 6.4 for both platform when playground.
And there is one more option for iOS platform "Run in Full Simulator",besides "Render Documentation"option. in My Xcode 6.4 inspector
and I have check the "IDEPlaygroundSettings.inspector" in
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents//PlugIns/IDELanguageSupportUI.ideplugin/Contents/Resources/IDEPlaygroundSettings.inspector
and
/Applications/Xcode-Beta.app/Contents//PlugIns/IDELanguageSupportUI.ideplugin/Contents/Resources/IDEPlaygroundSettings.inspector
they are quite different.
