问题
The issue is fixed with recent update of Mac OSX.
I am using Xcode 8 on Mac Mini running OSX El Capitan (10.11.6). When I deploy my app on simultor is shows following error messages:
"launchd_sim quit unexpectedly"
"Unable to boot the iOS simulator"
How to resolve such type of issues?

回答1:
This error indicates that launchd_sim is unable to create its temporary state directory (/private/tmp/com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDevice....launchd_sim).
This can happen if /private/tmp is deleted or has changed permissions.
There have been a high volume of reports of this issue lately. The reason appears to be that the restricted bit is getting set on /private/tmp, which is why some users have reported that disabling SIP acts as a workaround for this issue.
The correct fix is to remove the restricted bit from that path. If you boot your system into recovery mode and launch Terminal, you should be able to do this with:
chflags norestricted /Volumes/.../private/tmp
or a larger hammer:
rm -rf /Volumes/.../private/tmp
mkdir /Volumes/.../private/tmp
chmod 1777 /Volumes/.../private/tmp
chown root:wheel /Volumes/.../private/tmp
回答2:
The problem is, for some reason, your system has orphaned launch_sim processes.
The solution is to:
- quit the simulator
- open Activity Montior and search for sim.
- manually Force Quit any launch_sim, ScriptAgent, or instruments processes.
