How to permanently fix Xcode 5 SpringBoard failed to launch application with error: -3 [duplicate]

Answer 1

Restart simulator, if it wont solve your problem and then delete all content. It worked for me.

Answer 2

Quitting simulator seems to help.

Answer 3

Run Activity Monitor and force Kill the simulator process. Then Run you app again and simulator will launch automatically and problem goes away.

Answer 4

I think this may be because you have installed (run) it on 64bit iOS7 simulator and now you are trying to use same install/files on 32bit simulation.

Answer 5

I don't know why, but on my end deleting the app from simulator solved this.

Answer 6

I noticed I started getting this error when manually editing files that are in the Emulator's disk space.

With "the Emulator's disk space" I mean a path similar to this one: ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0/Applications//.app/

Having the build process re-run solved my problems too so I feel like it has something to do with file permissions or some sort of checksum failure.
