Xcode with SDK 4.2 always starting iPad Simulator

Question

Why does Xcode, after updating to SDK 4.2, always run my application in iPad Simulator instead of iPhone??? If I select iPhone Simulator as active executable it doesn\'t store m

Answer 1

You can go to Product -> Destination -> iPhone 6.1 Simulator.

It took me a while to figure out the reason, because even though you select the Device iPhone in Targets, it still opens the iPad emulator if you don't change the destination of your product.

Answer 2

Removing all iPad devices from the device list in the organizer (Window Menu > Organizer) fixed it for me. But i know that's not a perfect solution. I hope Apple will fix this soon.

Answer 3

Check the Active Executable setting, as well as the Simulator's setting for "Device."

Answer 4

Check your .xcodeproj info. Navigate yourself in there and locate Simulator's Settings and choose 'iPhone' or 'iPad'

Hope this helps

Answer 5

Try to Build -> 'Clean All Targets'. Go into Release configuration, compile and then back to Debug. Now you can choose Iphone Simulator. For me it works.

Hope this help.

Answer 6

I had the same Problem. But suddenly after an Update it disappeared. Do you have the newest Version of all Software( or tried turning it off and on again)?

If that doesn't works, I would suggest a reinstall. Solved many of my Problems...
