Answer 1

Thanks for pointing this out @Miki and kudos to you. I had the same issue as you yesterday (and I added ShareKit 3.0.0 from CocoaPods to the app a few days ago). I suspected ShareKit giving me this problem, but now I can be confident of exactly which library is causing this. Here is what I found in my log (if it can benefit others):

Error Domain=LaunchServicesError Code=0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (LaunchServicesError error 0.)" UserInfo=0x7fa836097aa0 {Error=PackageInspectionFailed, ErrorDescription=Failed to load Info.plist from bundle at path /Users/{UserName}/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/99FEB34E-6F00-4EFA-861A-A6985AFE96D8/data/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.X7eead/extracted/{AppName}.app/Frameworks/LiveSDK.framework}

Answer 2

I hade exactly the same problem and it was ShareKit.

On the simulator I had "Error Domain=LaunchServicesError Code=0".

On the iPhone6 device I had "App installation failed Could not inspect the application package."

When I removed ShareKit it worked.

Answer 3

I removed all my pod files and replaced them all, seems the problem for me was the bolts framework was old, and causing this error. I did a clean & reset content and now it's all good.

Answer 4

"Reset Content and Settings" from iOS Simutalor menu options and launching simulator after Quitting solved my issue.

Answer 5

I tried every other solution listed here. Well, I ported my project from Swift 1.2 to Swift 2.0. The application was stuck even after a lot debugging and launch services error 0 was reported.

solution: It happens because of framework compilation.

App target -> Build Phases -> Embed Frameworks.

So mark copy only when installing on. Clean the project and run it!

Answer 6

Have the same problem after localizing my app. Especially Info.plist. Seems I had empty CFBundleShortVersionString in InfoPlist.strings, after fixing that the simulator started to work properly.
