I have an m1 mac. And I’m trying to create a watch target for my iOS app. After numerous tries, I’ve not been able to run to any watch (either real or simulator).
I also downloaded open source watchOS projects and couldn’t run any of them. I get the error “Could not attach to pid: 18362” “attach failed ((os/kern) invalid argument)
Has anybody faced this challenge? How did they fix it? Is it caused by the m1, cos I was able to create it on another Mac
Found out the hard way.
As of March 2021, the new Mac M1s cannot run WatchKit apps and CarPlay apps. You either end up with the error in the question or another error.
But these errors do not pop up on regular macs.
For building I enable rosetta, otherwise build process fails.
Then if you to launch the build on watch it debugger fails to attach to debugger (same error as above).
Then go and disable Rosetta and then launch watch build once again. It works. Hopefully it helps
Had a similar issue with playground / xcode projects.
When opening the playground the issue appears like this
The Solution for me was to activate the "Rosetta Mode" when having a xcode project and deactivate the "Rosetta Mode" when using the playground.
You can activate / deactivate it by searching for Xcode in your finder (cmd+space, type "Xcode" scroll below and found it) do a right click an click on "Get info" and in the "General" tab you use the "Open using Rosetta" -button.
Maybe this is also a solution for your problem.
Try to uncheck the open with rosetta option for xcode. For me it was working perfectly in my m1 mac book air.

Somehow when I run npm run log:ios (react-native log-ios), I get the following error:
No active iOS device found
I have the simulator up and running with the app open.
Any idea why, or how can I start to investigate this issue?
PS: I recently installed Xcode 9.1-beta2 as I wanted to check something inherited from this upgrade. Not sure what role it would/could have played in this case.
The issue with react-native log-ios has not been resolved yet due to some other priorities. There is a simple workaround using Console.app. To open Console.app: ⌘ + space > type console, press enter.
Simulator log can also be seen under Debug > Open System Log
Edit: If you want to see console.log for debugging in iOS Simulator
Open Safari, Go preferences -> advanced -> Show Develop menu in the menu bar. Once done, build and run in Xcode and then in safari go Develop -> iPhone Simulator -> Your App Name.
I have been building mac app on my mac mini and it always worked well but today i faced this error, searched a lot but no luck.
Message from debugger: unable to attach
What i tried:
Clear derived data
Quit Xcode
Restart machine
installation directory set to blank and also to /Applications
Tried Skip Install No / Yes
Using developer Signing certs
M using only Developer certificates and not provisioning profile to sign my cocoa app
Xcode 8.2
OSX 10.12.1
Please help :)
This is what fixed it for me, perhaps it will help others but I do realize the question was for 8.2. I had it set to Xcode 9 "New Build System" disabling this and switching to "Standard Build System" in the Project Settings under the File Menu. I had tried all the other things like killing DerivedData, clean build, restarting Xcode. I also verified that my dependent libraries were set correctly. The only thing that worked was disabling new "New Build System"
I just had this problem today. I have little demo code in a mac project(created with Xcode 9.4). This error just started to occur after I upgraded system to macOS Mojave 10.14. However, in Xcode 10 this project runs no problem(without changing anything). If you can use Xcode 10 it will probably be fixed.
Unfortunately, the above solutions didn't work for me (although I am sure they work for some people).
Here is what worked for me, in case this helps anyone else:
Close Xcode
Open Xcode and Create a new Xcode project
In the iOS template, select Single View App then click Next
yes, I know you are trying to get a macOS app attaching to the debugger :).
Give the iOS app any product name and organization identifier you would like and click Next
Create the new project anywhere you would like (I saved it to my desktop)
Build and run (cmd + r) the iOS app on a simulator like the iPhone 8 (starting a simulator and running the iOS app will take a little time, so have patients)
After the iOS app runs in the simulator, click to stop it from running (the stop button is next to the run button)
Open your macOS app that you are having trouble connecting a debugger to, and build and run it (cmd + r)
This, for some reason, allowed me to connect to the debugger with my macOS app...
Xcode version: 10.1, macOS Mojave version: 10.14.2
Specs: React Native, xCode, iOS Simulator
I'm currently running xCode and just trying to start my hello world however despite numerous approaches I cannot get the dev menu in the iOS Simulator to open. The hotkey CMD + D will not work.
I have tried:
I checked and unchecked the simulator keyboard settings, “Connect
Hardware Keyboard”. Reference
I have tried “Reset Content and Settings” in the simulator menu.
Switching between scheme settings for the project. “Check your
scheme settings. The current scheme shows at the top of Xcode. Click
on it, then Edit Scheme. Under "Run", make sure the build
configuration is set to Debug. If it's set to something different,
you won't get the dev menu.” Reference
Restarting the simulator and restarting my mac.
Let's you try command + control + z
I also faced the same issue and after searching a lot I finally got a solution.
Create a fresh project by react-native init and see if it(dev menu) works or not? If it does, just upgrade the react-native version of your project. In my case, creating a fresh project worked.
I faced a similar issue when the default launch device as iPhone 11. But when I ran the command to run with iPhone 11 Pro developer menu came back. May be specific to a device on my machine.
https://reactnative.dev/docs/running-on-simulator-ios
"react-native run-ios --simulator='iPhone 11 Pro'"
To list all devices
xcrun simctl list devices
Just updated to Xcode 5 and this is the first error its throwing on the logger for all my apps. Can't seem to understand why this is happening.
2013-09-19 10:46:54.341 MyApp[1156:a0b] Cannot find executable
for CFBundle 0x8a7c7a0 </Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/

System/Library/AccessibilityBundles/CertUIFramework.axbundle> (not loaded)
Edit (11-11-2013): To everyone reading, once I waiting for a solid working solution to accept and close. The highest voted answer works until you re-open the project only.
Edit (30-09-2014): I can see this has been sorted since XCode 6 has been released! Finally
Final Edit-
Temporary workaround: click iOS Simulator > Reset Content and
Settings... and run again.
This error message may reappear at random. For me, it happens when I
launch a different application. There are several threads in Apple dev
forums and in StackOverflow about this problem, but none have a
definitive answer. This seems to be a SDK error to be fixed in the
next Xcode version.
Updated: October 3.

Further Edit
Although this was potentially the issue resolution at the time. I believe some of the newer answers below relating to the better touch tool are in fact the correct resolutions.
After reading Kirill's answer I did some digging as I didn't want to disable BetterTouchTool for everything just the "iOS Simulator" and you can.
Open the "iOS Simulator" and will it as the active app go to the BTT drop-down menu from the top bar (of that screen if you have more than one) and select "Disable BTT for Current App". It will turn to a play icon when it's disabled.
Make sure the app name on the bar is still "iOS Simulator" as mine jumped to "Finder" a few times when I clicked the top bar!
Now re-set the simulator (if it doesn't work) and rebuild. You shouldn't get the error! :)
Don't forget to clear the error if it's still there. ;)
BTT seems to remember what apps it's disabled for (or at least it does when you close and re-open the app that's disabled I haven't tried a system re-boot yet).
Its easy. Go iOS simulator and reset content and setting.
Thanks
If you are using XCode-5 then just reset the simulator "Reset Content and Settings" and run once again
So I was having this error too in Xcode 5 and 5.1. I wanted to figure out if it's Xcode bug or something else, so I did a fresh install of Mavericks 10.9.2 and Xcode 5.1. Everything seemed fine after multiple tests.
Here is where the problem began. I put the apps and settings that I mostly use and the error came back. So I deleted everything and started adding everything one by one. After couple days I had bingo! The problem is with BetterSnapTool and BetterTouchTool
Update 12.12.2014
Just started using Xcode 6.1 and noticed that this bug seems to be gone at least with Xcode 6.1 simulators and BTT 0.9985 versions.
Update:
As GasB pointed out, it is possible to disable BTT for certain apps. So just disable it for iOS Simulator. You just have to remember not to use gestures while using the simulator as that triggers the error message.
Simple solution:
Remove the ticks in preference pane, reset simulator and do clean build. The error message will disappear.

I had the same problem and solved it setting the 'Localization native development region' to match my systems region. In my case from 'en' to 'de'. The referenced files are stored in localized versions in your filesystem. So this setting is used to identify the needed version.
You can find that setting in your project settings at 'Info' -> 'Custom iOS Target Properties'.
Resetting the simulator ‘fixes’ it because it turns the accessibility support off. You can normally achieve the same by simply disabling the ‘Accessibility Inspector’ in the ‘Settings’ app.
If, however, you need it enabled, particularly hate this error message, and are feeling adventurous then you can use the following monkey patches to silence the error: https://gist.github.com/alloy/9277316. (Be sure to NOT include this in your release builds.)
Resetting the simulator is a PITA, I found a way to get rid of these messages without having to to this:
go to Settings > Accessibility
turn on Accessibility Inspector
turn off Accessibility Inspector
quit Simulator
I had this problem with Xcode 5 in ML 10.8.5
I re-installed Mountain Lion (in a Parallels' VM), then update ML to 10.8.5.
Then installrd Xcode 5, and it's worked fine.
I think that the error is caused by a third SW installed in ML.
The application Moom is also causing this issue, and I couldn't find a way to disable it for just the iOS Simulator. So for now I disabled it's accessibility features.
I'm on Mavericks (10.9.3) and encountered the same error in xCode(5.1.1).
I tried anything - reinstalling xCode from both AppStore and dmg. Resetting the emulator resulted in the same error and deleting the Simulator SDK folder gave no results too.
The issue on my end was indeed Moom as mentioned by #aorcsik! Disabling it's accessibility, followed by clean (cmd+shift+k) in xCode cleared the error.
Open Disk Utility and apply Repair Disk Permissions in Macintosh HD.
After doing above step, apply Reset Contents and Settings in iOS Simulator.
This above solution can definitely fix your problem.
I had this problem, and none of the answers in this thread could fix it. Mine was simple UI with a UIDatePicker. I resolved it by removing the UIDatePicker and the associated code, then added them in again. Problem solved!
For me it was Keyboard Maestro, adding the simulator to Maestro's exclude list silenced the warnings
I ran into problem with testing my app on iOS and Xcode when I am uploading it to my actual devices (iphone and iPad), and I'm wondering if someone knows the issue and can help me out:
Normally when I build my app on my devices, the app is installed and launched on my devices. But as I am preparing for submitting my first app I was testing around and changing the Bundle Identifier, App ID, and Development Provisions (so the issue may have something to do with it), and now, when I try to build my app on my devices, although it's installed on my devices fine, Xcode will not launch the app anymore. Instead, I got this error message:
Error Starting Executable.
Error launching remote program: No such file
or directory.
Does anyone know what the issue is? And What is this derived data folder about?
Much thanks!
I have also faced that problem. I have closed, restarted Xcode; deleted the application from device and reinstalled it again, then the problem has gone.
Running App from a Clean Slate
For me the problem did not resolve until I did the following in this order:
Delete the app from the device (Do this before trying to debug again)
Quit XCode (Don't just close the project)
Delete the app build folder (example path: /Users/myusername/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-fhkaamuyvqhubaezinqbmxbnaufd/)
Restart XCode
Finally -- Try debugging again on the iOS device
The app build folder of step 3 refers to your app's build folder that is a child of "DerivedData". To find this you can reveal your app in finder, then backtrack until you get to "DerivedData" folder and delete the folder above that like "MyApp-crazylongweirdletters". Without this step (3), I could not debug, so this is a critical step and you must quit XCode before you do this step.
For some it appears simply restarting XCode does the trick, but not for me.
I only post this answer because the earlier answers did NOT work for me. Hopefully others banging their heads will find this and get a sigh of relief. :)
Notes:
The issue started happening for me when I modified the bundle id of the app.
My code signing is and was correct. My provisioning profile was the "Team Provisioning Profile" which should work for any app id (default for "iPhone Developer" automatic profile selector).
I was doing a DEBUG build (not release / distribution).
You cant debug (start from Xcode) an application signed with a distribution profile if I remember well... And then you get such messages, gdb failling to attach to process.
I finally found my error!
I was playing around with my info.plist file, and I changed the Executable Name and Bundle and Bundle Display name! As soon as I changed those back to the Defaults (EXECUTABLE_NAME, PRODUCT_NAME, PRODUCT_NAME respectively) it worked perfectly.
Delete the app from the device (tap-and-hold then delete) and try again.
For me, none of those worked. Same error, but different solution.
My problem was cause by me accidently changing the "Deployment Target" (ios version) to a version higher than what was on the phone I tried to run the code on.
The fix was simple - drop the deployment target to below or equal to the ios software version on my phone :)
I got the same error by not having my code signing correct.
Go to your project > Targets > Build Settings > Check code signing for debug state.
I stumbled upon this as a solution to another issue whch was a warning when trying to build an app on a new 4.3.5 device.
If i set the profile to distribution I do not get a warning message when building the app, but the debugger will attach to the device.
If i set the code signing to the distribution profile, i get no warnings in the build process, but the debugger will not attach. So the answer above about being signing based seems to be correct. This might also only be an issue on newer 4.3.5 devices with xcode
Product -> Clean in the menubar
This error some times happen due to incomplete "Restore" or "Sync" process of your device which keeps the .app files locked up.
What I did I had to jailbreak my device to go find the app under /User/Applications/XXXXX-XXXX-XXX/ and phisically delete the .app
For one of the apps it worked and for other one I realized it just does not run GDB automatically so the error message is totally misleading, so I set the GDB to manual and it worked and did not give me that error, but of course I have to run the app manually for the debug session to start.
It also may have required some other stuff that I did before like checking the provision profile, but this was the last step that made it work.
Before this I tried all the solutions did not work for me, and obviously simply deleting the app by holding down your finger on the screen did not work, as it removed the icon but all the files were still there. ( Since it was a development app not a downloaded App Store app )
had same problem,
quit the XCode...delete app from device...run the program again..
i solved that way..one of my friends had to restart the device.
I have the same problem. I solved it by changing the project's directory name and then launching the app again.
I had this problem on a recently restored device where my in-development apps had not been reinstalled—they were showing up on Springboard as "Waiting" to be downloaded from the App Store. Deleting the app from Springboard fixed the problem.
I've faced this issue since yesterday on two different devices, both iOS 4.x. Deleting the DerivedData folder, deleting the app, restarting the Xcode, and cleaning the code did NOT work. Repeating all the steps, in addition to rebooting the device fixed it for me.
Here I am posting an update to the issue. Might be helpful for someone with the same problem. I have Xcode 4.4 and launched it on a device with iOS 5.0 . If Xcode doesnt have the 5.0 simulators
