Answer 3

None of the above things worked for me. I just reinstalled xcode and it worked.

Answer 4

Alternatively, header over to iOS Simulator - Reset Content and Settings.

This can be easier when you have a lot of apps on the simulator and can't remember which one you're currently working on.

You need to do this for every iOS Simulator version that causes the problem.
