Answer 4

This error occurs on iOS 7.0 if you leave the "Build" empty. Enter a build number!

Answer 5

I encountered this problem while trying to create a build for Facebook application approval. I found that for some reason, when I used the following command line:

xcodebuild -arch i386 -sdk iphonesimulator7.1 -scheme Mana -configuration Release

the files didn't end up in [project root]/build/... (as the instructions on Facebook suggest), but in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/[app name + unique identifier]/Build/Products.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on here (anyone who knows more please enlighten me!) but I was able to run the files in the DerivedData directory on the simulator. Hopefully they'll also work for Facebook!

Answer 6

Try manually launch the iOS Simulator and from the "iOS Simulator" menu, click "Reset content and settings", then close and rebuild your app.
