I guess the problem is that XCode sometimes "loses" files.

So I lost all my preferences just now, and unable to get them back because XCode, once they are lost, can't recover them.

Here is what I did to resolve:

• Open the console, note the directory it's using for the new launch, in my case that was /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/D713AFE6-D6B3-4D1E-A1B9-28FD679FD124/Documents/
• Quit the app
• Go to /Users/nik/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications and look for a launch that still has the preferences files in /Documents
• Copy the preferences files to the last launch location above
• Launch again - now it all worked. XCode created yet another temporary launch directory, but moved the files from the "last" launch over.

I am now also saving the preferences file in another location so next time this happens I have them handy.
