Xcode compiles my App, but can't run it in the simulator

Question

when i compile my app, Xcode just says \"Attaching to Projectname...\" and gets stuck there. The debugger just prints this out:

error: failed to attac

Answer 1

If resetting content and settings in the Simulator doe snot work for you, make sure that there is an entry for localhost in your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Some programs can delete the line or comment it out (#) or even delete your /etc/hosts/ file completely. I tried everything described, but once I added localhost back to the file, the simulator worked perfectly for me.
