This is some sort of memory issue sometimes.Close some application and try again.

Close Xcode too and reopen. Worked for me.

Answer 4

In my case, this issue was fixed changing the Architectures (Build Settings --> Architectures) to Standard architectures - $(ARCHS_STANDARD)

Make sure to have arm64 armv7 armv7s on Valid Architectures.

Answer 5

Just Go to Devices -> The Intended device you wanted to run (I Was iPhone6 Simulator)-> Select the Device (I was selected iPhone6) -> Right Click-> Make sure the ‘Show the Run Destination Menu’ enabled.

For Me, it was enabled. I did, it worked.

Answer 6

It was a bug in XCode, I closed and reopened Xcode and it started working.

I've noticed this sort of thing many many times now with Xcode with other problems, its very frustrating that the tool is so dodgy.
