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 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.
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
Using Xcode 5 GM, anytime I switch to the 5.1, 6.0 or 6.1 simulators to test, I get the error "iOS Simulator failed to install application." When I reset the simulator it works, but this is getting very tiring.
Anybody have a permanent fix or workaround?
Looks like this is a known issue. From the Xcode 5 release notes:
After switching the minimum deployment target of an application from
iOS 7.0 to a release prior to iOS 7.0, building and running the
application may fail with the message “iOS Simulator failed to install
the application.”
Go to the iOS home screen, click and hold the application icon, then tap the hovering “X” button to delete the application. 13917023
Another release note:
iOS Simulator
If an iOS app is detached, relaunching the same app from Xcode will
result in a black screen in the Simulator even though the new app is
launched. Terminate the app in the Simulator or relaunch it for the
second time. 14648784
Delete the old version app in your simulator (usually iOS 6.x).
Alternatively, header over to iOS Simulator - Reset Content and Settings.
This can be easier when you have a lot of apps on the simulator and can't remember which one you're currently working on.
You need to do this for every iOS Simulator version that causes the problem.
None of the other suggestions worked for me. However, after comparing my existing app settings to a new vanilla project, I noticed that the "Build" field for my Target was blank. Once I put something in that field, the app installed just fine!
if you have already developed project and you used xib to develop views then
X-Code > Inspector Selector Bar > Interface Builder Document > opens in > and change from Xcode Default(5.o) to Xcode 4.6 .
Build and Run your app it will run successfully, if it won't run again then, header over to iOS Simulator - Reset Content and Settings. delete old app from simulator then Run again.
i got the same problem but solved by following way....
Launch the iOS Simulator
Go and click "iOS Simulator" menu
Click "Reset content and settings"
Close simulator and rebuild your app.
Above screen shot is showing the way how you can do this...
I think this works for you...!!!
Deleting the app in the simulator works for me.
just wanted to add that this happen only if I open xib that created in xcode 4.6
If it's other files, this not happen
try this ....
in my case nothing have worked for me , after resetting the content simulator also , i am not able to install the app on simulator . after that i just changed my project location . i just moved the project to other location . then it installed successfully.
None of the above things worked for me. I just reinstalled xcode and it worked.
Ran into this issue today. Found it was an empty Reference Folder (blue folder) causing this. Removed the folder from Resources in Build Phase... cleaned build folder for the heck of it, and it went away.
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Developer/Xcode/ --> remove all contents of this folder, then simply launch the app from Xcode.
To check your Executable file settng ex.$(EXECUTABLE_NAME)
(Project setting - info property page)
I have different issue when getting error message “iOS Simulator failed to install application”, the reason is because I have added a property in App-Info.plist without any value. For instance, [Application Category] with no value. Thus the error will show up as well.
When I got this error, the image of the phone actually appeared, but the image of the app I wanted to test did not. Instead, I was on the main page of the phone that shows the apps you have. I fixed this problem by deleting the many icons that appeared on the start screens - about 30 of them. These had been created when I testing apps over the months. So, not saying its a solution, but it started working after I deleted the old app images.
For me it was -framework XCTest.
It made the app die with iOS Simulator failed to install application
and on the device Could not inspect the application package.
Removed it and now works.
You are using Xcode GM which is under beta stage. Use latest Xcode 5.1.1 available.
Also, these error occur while switching between simulator (32 bit and 64 bit).
Quit the simulator and re-build the application. OR
Reset simulator from "iOS simulator" -> "Reset content and settings.."
I changed my app name and bundle id midway. I happened to delete the Executable File name in my plist. I changed it back to "${EXECUTABLE_NAME}" (no quotes) and I'm back in business.
This has to be a simple configuration issue, but I don't know my way around the build settings very well.
I upgraded my iPad from 4.3 to 5.0. I am using Xcode 4.2. When I plug my device in, it is not showing up on run button, and I have a message that it can't run using the selected device.
What do I have to do?
Open Xcode, go to Window -> Organizer and find your device. Click the "Use for Development" button to get Xcode to recognise it again.
go to your iphone device, settings->Reset->Reset All Settings. Close Xcode, restart XCode, device should be in the list now.
Restarting USB process worked for me.
Run sudo pkill usbmuxd on terminal
or
Open Activity Monitor and select Disk by tapping from segment control and search usbmuxd, select the same and force quite/quite.
Note: before doing above stuff, remove device and quite Xcode.
