Bootstrap Server Error in Xcode IPHONE [duplicate]

Answer 1

(I can't leave a comment, apologies). I was getting this error running iOS 4.3.1 on iPad. I was compiling on the iPad itself, not running in the simulator. I tried everything - clean then rebuild, restarting XCode, deleting the app on iPad, running through the simulator then trying the iPad again.

What worked for me was deleting the app on my iPad, then XCode -> Product -> Clean, then rebooting the iPad (hold power button to switch off, then switch back on), then XCode -> Product Run. I don't know if all those steps are necessary, but I do know they worked! Thanks to tapdancemobile for the suggestion to restart iPad, just as you'd restart the simulator :)

I've had little luck with recovering from this problem once it happens. Killing processes rarely seems to succeed with this. I can tell you how I avoid it though: don't quit the simulator while your app is still running in the debugger.

I develop on a MacBook and to save battery I would often quit the simulator while debugging. Something gets munged up though and sometimes causes the app's process to get detached or hung or something to the point that XCode can no longer control it. After that this error begins appearing.

Always stop your app in XCode before quitting from the simulator and the problem won't happen.

I'm not sure what situation leads to it happening when debugging on the device directly. Maybe quitting the app by forcing it closed from Springboard? Or possibly disconnecting the cable while still debugging /shrug

I had my app working perfectly fine in the simulator but was shouting that error when I deployed on iPad (iOS 5) . My Solution :

1. Clean all targets and deploy .

If it still doesn't work :

1. Remove the app from simulator/iPad/iPhone . You may restart your ipad and Mac .
2. Clean all targets and try to run again.
