Answer 1

On Mavericks 10.9.5 using Xcode Version 6.0.1 (6A317) with an iOS SDK supporting 8.0 originally had Simulators all version 8 all getting this error. All the advice above was not working for me. So went to Xcode->Preferences->Downloads and saw as installable (but not yot installed) in the Components section were iOS Simulators 7.1 and/or 7.0. Went ahead and installed the 7.1 Simulators and got extra designations on the Product->Destination list Simulators of version 8.0 and 7.1, and using the 8.0 still had the same error, but the 7.1 Simulators all worked.

• 3.Select Properties
• 4.Choose project build path. Select Titanium Mobile SDk all versions of 3.* Tick all of them.
• 5.Now click apply and re run the project.

Answer 3

I tried everything mentioned above and nothing worked.

Finally the only way to make it work was unsetting DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib

How I did this:

1. Open terminal and typing "sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf"
2. Changing

"setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib"

to

"unsetenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib"

3. Save changes
4. Reboot your system

In this post [1] explain what DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES is for

Answer 4

Had the same problem after installing XCode 5. Had no iOS 6.1 Sim or SDK. Obtained these. Tried to run the App up under the iOS6.1 Sim and go the failed to install message. Having read through all of the above posts, I decided to simply remove the App from the Simulator and re-istall, re-run from the project window and that solved it for me.

Answer 5

None of the above worked for me, I finally compared my info.plist to another project and found that I had somehow deleted the "Executable File = ${EXECUTABLE_NAME}" key/value pair, replacing it fixed the problem for me.
