Nativescript iOS app not running on device - nativescript

I'm encountering a strange issue and was hoping to get some insight. When I build my Nativescript app on a Mac, and open it in the iOS simulator, it works. When I "prepare" the iOS app and open it in xcode, and run it on a simulator, it works. When I run it to my plugged in device, it also works. But when I take that project to the Appstore, and download it from there, I only get the splash screen, and then the app exits. Can anyone please shed some light?

Okay so I managed to figure out what the issue is, so I hope this will help someone in future:
Even though I added "Push Notifications" as a Capability(Signing & Capabilities) in XCode, I had to add the "Background Modes" there as well, and then select "Remote Notifications".
This resolved the issue for me.

Xcode 11 can't launch CarPlay audio application

In Xcode 11 GM Version can't launch Car Play audio application in the simulator.
Simulator stuck on the loading screen, then show "Unable to connect" error. Sometimes shows only black screen or crash on app launch.
While debugging, I see that methods from MPPlayableContentDataSource and MPPlayableContentDelegate won't fire. On Xcode 10 all work fine, so it's looks like some bug in new Xcode 11. Maybe someone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks indeed.
I submitted a radar (FB7514196) to Apple.
You can see a copy of the radar here: https://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=4997629368860672
Just installed Xcode 11.3 and I'm still having this problem. Contacted Apple via the Feedback Assistant and the response was:
Please ensure you're providing a prompt response to
MPPlayableContentDelegate and MPPlayableContentDataSource when you app
launches on the car screen. You have a few seconds after launch before
we show this timeout screen.
The first thing I do when starting the app is to set up this delegate and data source, so that's not the issue. Maybe something related to setting up CarPlay changed in the iOS 13 SDK.
Xcode 11 and Xcode 11.1 seem to contain a broken CarPlay implementation. Xcode 11.2 (beta-1) seems to work much better here. That said, the CarPlay simulator is finicky anyways and you should really use a real head unit to test your programs. I have found simply closing and reopening the CarPlay simulator to help with many issues, btw.
Still the same issue here with XCode 11.2.1
Anybody found a solution?
The CarPlay simulator has always been a total disgrace - for years!

Xamarin Remote Simulator results in blank screen

I know this feature is very new, so I'm hoping someone has had experience with this issue before and may shed some light on what might be going on. Right now we are trying to utilize Xamarin 4.2's new "remote iOS simulator for Windows". When I build to Mac simulator, it works fine the app shows up and no issues. When I turn on the option to use the remote simulator, the simulator opens, and then there's just a blank screen, as you can see from the screenshot there's no errors and it built fine:
Looks like you are hitting the following:
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42333
The remote simulator is in preview, so there are likely to be bugs that have not been fixed yet. I'd suggest adding a comment to that bug report with any information you can provide.
If you would like to receive a notification when the bug is updated, you can add yourself to the CC list for the bug. Please note that you will need to create an account on that system if you have not already done so.

Xcode Project won't run on iOS Device

Xcode gives me this message every-time I try running my app on my iPhone. (Works fine on the simulator.) (And this occurs in every project I have.) (I also just downloaded Xcode again.)
This is the message I get.
App Installation Failed.
Unknown Error Occurred.
How do I fix this error?
Unplugging iOS Device and plugging it back it in fixed it for me.
Alright, it was a simple fix:
Go into Xcode Preferences -> Accounts -> More Info. Hit the refresh icon.
Clean your project. Project -> Clean.
Force quit Xcode.
Reboot Mac and Device.
If you have the same App but downloaded from AppStore, I suggest to remove the App manually from your device, then try to run the new version with XCode.
After following the suggestions in this thread (restarting iPhone, cleaning Xcode project, quitting and re-launching Xcode) and others (setting Team to None then back to my Team) and unplugging and replugging Lightning connector from my iPhone 6 I was still experiencing this problem. Xcode would even display an error that my iPhone 6 was locked, even though it was not.
I was able to fix it by unplugging the USB-A connector of the USB to Lightning cable from my MacBook Pro, then plugging it back in. I'm not sure why that made the difference, but glad that it did resolve this annoying problem.
I have this issue regularly. There are a number of techniques that help me overcome it, including the classic "turn it off and back on again."
One thing that isn't mentioned here is that the iPhone should be switched on, unlocked, connected to the mac and then the app should be run (with the iPhone unlocked). Don't lock it!
Make sure your device name doesn't have any emoji (Xcode 11.0)
if you using vpn services, then you need to turn off vpn. Works for me

My iOS Simulator is missing Safari

Issue: Safari app missing in iOS Simulator
I installed Xcode 5.0a on my mini at work, and launched the iOS Simulator hoping test our mobile css. Much to my dismay, Safari was not on the homescreen. Rebooting the simulator did not help. Restarting xcode, and later my mini did nothing either. Even dragging a link (such as https://www.google.com) into the simulator would cause iOS to give an error, indicating that there was no https handler at all. After nearly an hour of googling, I could not find anything about the missing Safari app. In my desparation, I was looking up everything even remotely related.
So, how do I get Safari installed on the iOS Simulator?
Solution: "File -> Reset Content and Settings..." caused Safari to reappear.
... and then suddenly it was right there in front of me. I saw an answer by Sihua in a pretty unrelated question that proved to be the very thing I needed:
Did you try "File -> Reset Content and Settings ..." in the simulator ? [...]
After doing this, Safari appeared in the tray as normal after the simulator rebooted. It was back to normal. The clouds parted, the sky turned blue again, the birds started singing... the curse had been lifted!
I could get back to work. But first, I wanted to post this solution in case there are some other poor devils out there beset by the same frustrating issue.

Xcode 5 IOS simulator black screen and app install fails

I just updated my xcode to work with ios7. Now whenever I make a new app, even if its set to build for ios7, I get an error in the simulator when running. It says that the install failed, even if I just made the project and haven't coded anything into it yet. The simulator also shows a black screen. I have tried the reset content, and it didn't work. I saw something somewhere saying to delete the Iphone Simulator folder in application support, but no such folder seems to exist. What can I try to do?
Update--
With some additional research, I found that Iphone Simultor is in the Xcode.app now, but I don't know what to delete. There are many files under the iPhone Simulator Folder. If I delete the actual app, it just doesnt open. Any ideas?? I dont even get an iphone on the screen, just a black window...
Update 2:
Even when I just go to open developer tools -> iphone simulator
it still gives me just a black screen....
Update 3
I just re-installed X-code, and all works now! Strange....I have no idea what happened...But I thought I would let y'all know for others who have similar issues.
Deleting the iOS Simulator folder of the iOS version in question in
/Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator
helps, but then you always have to repeat all the settings you made in the simulator (language, for example). Try to press the home button and then delete your app like you do it on a real iOS device. You should then be able to install it again.
This seems to be a known issue.
When simulator open - Go to iOS simulator tab -> reset content and settings..
Work for me.
Perhaps this answer will help?
The simulator should be in this folder:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iOS Simulator.app
Make sure any #try and #catch(NSException *exception) {} blocks are not commented or are working properly.
This is a version mismatch between your OS X version and your Xcode (iOS simulator)
and it seems that you have upgraded your OS X so Xcode needs to be upgraded as well, Check the versions that match with each other.
You need to upgrade your Xcode which will upgrade iOS simulator.
Good Luck,
