black/blank screen iOS simulator on VMware - xcode

I am having a weird issue with simulator it shows me this screen
I have searched around for a solution and have tried to reset the content and settings it didn't work
Currently, I have Xcode version 11.3 (11C29) and macOS version 10.15 beta installed. When I run the project with iPhone 11 pro 13.3 it shows me the black screen.
Unlike regular/ initial ios simulator set up, there are no apps installed by default.
I am running mac on VMware. Any kind of help is really helpful.

I was facing a similar issue, got it fixed by using the correct version of Xcode
For VMWare Catalina - 10.15 Beta(197a471t) use Xcode - 10.3
Use this site to Download Specefic Xcode from Apple -> https://xcodereleases.com
It also fixed a Assets.Xcassets problem I was facing (LaunchImage Problem), really bad the MacOS is so specific with these versions
Hope you get it fixed...
P.S for virtual Box users there is a command line fix ->https://wasaytechtips.com/springboard-quit-unexpectedly/

Update Xcode 10.1 to 10.2 on High Sierra 10.13.6

I'm trying to update Xcode 10.1 to 10.2 on my High Sierra 10.13.6 version.
The App Store window shows the update button, but the problem is after hitting that button, the circle on the upper-left corner is just rotating for hours and nothing else happens!
Since the difference between the two versions is not that huge, the update naturally must be downloaded and installed after some time, but in effect it's not that way!
How to solve that issue, please?
I am using Xcode10.2 on High Sierra 10.13.6, and can build several projects for my iPhone 5s and 6s Plus which working on iOS12.2. The process is similar to Damnum’s.
Change the name of working Xcode like Xcode10.1.
Download Xcode 10.2 and copy it into Applications folder. (The name is of course Xcode.)
Edit Xcode.app/Contents/Info.plist and change the Minimum System Version to 10.13.6 with Xcode10.1
Edit Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/FileMerge/Contents/Info.plist and change the Minimum System Version to 10.13.6 with Xcode10.1
Edit Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app/Contents/Info.plist and change the Minimum System Version to 10.13 with Xcode10.1
Launch Xcode (it is 10.2) and install the rest of items.
Now you can use iOS12.2 features in the Xcode.
I tested my own projects and several sample projects from iOS 12 App Development Essentials by Neil Smyth. All of them work fine on my devises including camera app.
Follow these steps:
Download Xcode 10.2 via this link (you need to be signed in with your Apple Id): https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_10.2/Xcode_10.2.xip and install it
Edit Xcode.app/Contents/Info.plist and change the Minimum System Version to 10.13.6
Do the same for Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app/Contents/Info.plist (might require a restart of Xcode and/or Mac OS to make it open the simulator on run)
Replace Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild with one from 10.1
The difference between the two versions is not that huge for example Swift 5.0 allows to build projects without the embedded Swift Libraries.
Xcode 10.2 doesn't run in High Sierra. It requires macOS 10.14.3
As it doesn't appear to have been mentioned in the existing answers/comments, for completeness, the last version of Xcode to run on High Sierra (macOS 10.13.2) is version 9.4.1, but on macOS 10.13.6 the last supported version of Xcode is version 10.1
From Xcode want install on high Sierra 10.13.6:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode has a good summary of compatibility versions. Looks like for 10.13.6 you'll need Xcode 9.4.1
Looking on https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
Command_Line_Tools_macOS_10.13_for_Xcode_9.4.1.dmg
Xcode_9.4.1.xip
However, once 9.4.1 is installed upon 10.13.6, then there is an update offered for the CLT on the AppStore to version 10.1,
When the Xcode 7.0 - 10.x section of the Wikipedia page is checked, it can be seen that the quote above is not (entirely) correct, depending upon which version of High Sierra you have installed:
For 10.13.2, Xcode 9.4.1 is the last supported version
Command_Line_Tools_macOS_10.13_for_Xcode_9.4.1.dmg
Xcode_9.4.1.xip
For 10.13.6, Xcode 10.1 is the last supported version
Command_Line_Tools_macOS_10.13_for_Xcode_10.1.dmg
Xcode_10.1.xip

How to run Xcode 6 on macOS High Sierra(10.13)?

I downloaded Xcode from Apple Developer website. When I'm trying to open the app, it shows this error.
You can’t use this version of the application “Xcode” with this version of macOS.
Can we bypass this check?
I'm not sure about High Sierra (10.13), but here are steps to get Xcode 6 running on Sierra (10.12): https://indiestack.com/2016/08/xcode-6-on-sierra/
Haven't tried them myself though.

Xcode 5.1 with new OS 10.10 Yosemite displays Cyan circle on screen

I have installed the developer preview of the new operating system Yosemite. Xcode 5.1.1 and then I did the 10.10 update. After performing the update and restarting, when I open Xcode 5.1.1 I get this cyan circle with a cross hair in side of it. I cannot move it around nor close it.
Is there anyone that knows how to remove it or is experiencing the same issue.
My screen shot is available at this link:

You're using a pre-release OS with a version of Xcode that doesn't officially support the OS Version so there is a good chance of you finding that things don't work as expected.
You should probably download Xcode 6 Beta 2 from the iOS/Mac Dev Centre and use that instead as it is designed for 10.10.
Xcode 5.1 is theoretically useless on the developer preview anyway as you cannot submit apps to the app store that have been compiled on a machine running a pre-release OS.

Cannot Upgrade Xcode App Crashes After IOS 7.0.3 Upgrade

I am in a world of pain so confused.
I have updated my ipad and iphone to ios7.
I have been developing with titanium mobile and when i open my project in xcode and trying to run on the device i now get this error.
No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS
version. Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to
run your application or choose an iOS simulator as the destination.
So after googling around i notice i am running xcode Version 4.6.3 (4H1503). So i thought i might need to be update.
So i went to the mac store found xcode and then clicked update, and i know get this error.
Xcode can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because Mac OS X version 10.8.4 or later is required.
So i done some more googling and now i am here all the links i find take me back to the app store where i get the above error.
Can someone please help, after updating to io7 version 7.0.3. My app now crashes so i need to debug on the device to find out why this is happen
Help
UPDATE
my mac is running Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and when i click check for updates i get this alert.
Software Update doesn’t have any new software for your computer at this time.
You need to upgrade your mac to the OS X Mavericks. Click the Apple icon on the top left and select "App Store...". Search for "Mavericks". Click "Free upgrade" (yes it is free :-). After that you will be able to upgrade Xcode to 5.x release.

XCode 5.0.1 and iOS 5.1 simulator issue

After upgrading XCode to 5.0.1 on Mavericks I can't install iOS 5 simulator, it's removed from Download section... Is it only happening to me or does anyone else has similar issue?
Is it possible to install 5.1 simulator from outside of Xcode Downloads page?
Unfortunately, iOS Simulator 5.0 and 5.1 don't work on Mavericks. The reason for this is best explained by gparker on the developer forums (https://devforums.apple.com/message/911139#911139):
The iOS simulator does not duplicate some of the low-level parts of iOS. For example, it uses the host OS X's kernel instead of trying to virtualize the iOS kernel. The iOS simulator requires that these subsystems look sufficiently similar between the simulated iOS and the host OS X. When a new host OS X changes too much it can break old simulators. At that point somebody makes an engineering and cost decision to either update the old simulator or drop support for it.
Not the answer you and I were hoping to find. You could of course run Mountain Lion in Parallels for testing iOS 5.x.
I face the same thing when I installed the XCode4.5. Then I copied the SDK from my old xcode to the new xcode.
The SDK is located in the following path.
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.0.sdk
/Applications/Xcode4.5.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.0.sdk
iOS Simulator 5.0/5.1 is available only on Mountain Lion. If you're running on Mavericks, you'll only see iOS 6.0/6.1/7.0.
iOS5 Simulator on XCode5-GM
Additional Simulators can be installed from Xcode -> Preference -> Downloads -> Components
However, in case of Xcode 5.x iOS 5 simulator cannot be installed since Mavericks doesn’t allows it.
