I'm moving to a new machine and want to start out fresh. I'm leaving Appcelerator Studio behind and want to go all CLI.
The project I'm working on is still on SDK 5.5.1.
When I try to build our app for the iPhone simulator it builds fine and launches the simulator but when it tries to start the app the simulator goes black execpt for the status bar. No errors are thrown in the terminal and nothing interesting shows up in console.app
I can launch the app in the simulator on my old machine without issues (done it 1000 times or so).
I build with: appc run -p ios
This is the last output I get:
[INFO] Launching iOS Simulator
-- Start simulator log -------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Application started
[INFO] OurAppName/2.8.1 (5.5.1.b18727f)
This is my setup:
Appcelerator Command-Line Interface, version 5.5.1
2017-02-08 14:54:46
Name = Mac OS X
Xcode 8.1
Version = 10.12.3
Node.js Version = 4.7.3
npm Version = 2.15.11
Titanium CLI Version = 5.0.9
Titanium SDK Version = 5.5.1.GA
SDK Path = /Users/-/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/5.5.1.GA
Target Platform = iphone
What am I missing?
You could try building on a specific simulator
run
appc run -p iOS --device-id
it will prompt you with all the devices available and you can choose among the list (choose an iOS 9 simulator, it looks like the problem is with the iOS 10 simulator)
Not sure if it helps, but we're using Titanium SDK 5.4.0, and so far still using Xcode 7. For another project, using Titanium 6 we are using Xcode 8.
We experienced some issues in communication between Studio/CLI and Xcode/Simulator.
if you are using Xcode 8.1 then you can use the following command
appc ti build -p ios -I 10.1
where -p is platform and -I is IOS version
if you want to check IOS version
Step 1: Go to Xcode
Step 2: Window -> Devices.
please see the image it will clear all things.
It worked for me.

Error message: ‘myApp.app’ cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
I face above error when I install the myApp.app using Appium on my iOS simulator. However, when I install the same myApp.app using terminal command ‘xcrun simctl install booted install myApp.app’ then the app installed/launched perfectly fine.
Note: I am a tester hence I have not built the app using XCode and moving forward I will be getting the .app file only from the developer for testing.
Below are the details
Appium desktop client version : 1.15.1
macOS version : 10.15.2
XCode version: 11.3
I am using below appium desired capabilities for iOS
{
“platformName”: “iOS”,
“platformVersion”: “13.3”,
“deviceName”: “iPhone 8”,
“automationName”: “XCUITest”,
“app”: “/Users/harj/Desktop/myApp.app”,
“bundleId”: “com.abc.xyzApp”,
“commandTimeouts”: 60000,
“noReset”: false,
“autoGrantPermissions”: true,
“useNewWDA”: true,
“showXcodeLog”: true
}
Appium logs
There are many errors in the log but i found this one relevent
Original error: ‘idb’ has not been found in PATH. Is it installed? Read https://www.fbidb.io for more details
That would be great if someone faced the same problem and got a solution.

I can able to launch the sample .app file on simulator with below versions.
I have resolved setup issue for simulator 13.4 version with xcode 11.4.
Simulator-: 13.4
xcode -: 11.4
mac os. -: 10.15.4
appium v -: 1.17.0
If you still face any issue then let me know. with appium logs and whole details.
Finally, the solution has been found.
Actually, the problem is with the macOS Catalina not with the Appium. The OS was preventing the .app to install on the simulator. There are two ways to solve this problem.
1) Degrade the gatekeeper(security) check on your mac.
2) Quarantine that specific app using below terminal command
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /yourAppPath/myApp.app
I recommended the option2 as it will keep your mac safe from attacks.
I'm trying to test my app with ios7 using Xcode 6's simulator but I can't find the option to change it. Currently it only loads ios8 while my deployment target is set to 7.
Also according to this message from Apple:
Starting February 1, 2015, new iOS apps uploaded to the App Store must include 64-bit support and be built with the iOS 8 SDK, included in Xcode 6 or later. To enable 64-bit in your project, we recommend using the default Xcode build setting of “Standard architectures” to build a single binary with both 32-bit and 64-bit code.
Does this mean that new apps cannot run on ios7 anymore?
Thank you for your help.
First, Change Deployment Target to 7.You can change Deployment target from target under Deployment Info.
Go to Xcode Preferences, Select Downloads tab and download iOS7 Simulator.
Now go to Xcode, you can find iOS7 Simulator on target device list, if not than quit and restart Xcode.
Hope it will help.
The deployment target is the minimum version of iOS that your application will be expected to run on. It effects how your app is BUILT and not where you run it. You need to choose an iOS 7 device from the run destinations menu and then do a Build&Run to build, install, and run the app on the iOS 7 device.
If you don't have an iOS 7 simulator device in the run destinations menu, go download the iOS 7 runtime from Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
Yes you can, go to xcode(7) preferences>select Components here you can download Simulater and Documents also.
I have installed the SDK's for 6.x and 7.0 in xcode and I'd like to test my app on ios6 in the simulator using titanium studio.
After poking around for some time I still can't find a way to select a different iOS version in my run configurations. As you can see, SDK's are installed and I can select them in the simulator itself, but the only way to test the app is by launching 7.0 (Titanium won't launch anything else).
Manually switching between versions and relaunching the app from titanium doesn't help either.
Looks like Titanium Studio has problem with simulator settings. Compiling project from console with titanium build -p ios will run your app on simulator with current settings. Also you can use additional flags to force different type of simulator:
--retina use the retina version of the iOS Simulator
--sim-64bit in combination with --retina flag & --tall flag, start the 64-bit tall version of the retina simulator
--tall in combination with --retina flag, start the tall version of the retina device
I just upgraded to Xcode 4.3.2 (the newest version). When I try to run an app that I built in previous versions of Xcode, this error pops up:
Xcode cannot run using the selected device.
No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version.
Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to run your application
or choose an iOS simulator as the destination.
I made sure to change the iOS deployment target to 5.1. How can I get rid of this error?
All I did was press build and run. I want to run on the iOS Simulator.
You can set Xcode to build to the simulator as illustrated below.
i'm using instrument 4.1 and i'm able to run my script but i'm not able to run the same script in instruments 4.2 it is throwing an exception target appears to have died .
Using command line i'm able to load the app but the script is not running.
thanks
Script will run only if it has any device / simulator belonging to your upgraded simulator version. If you have upgraded your ios simualator version from 4.X to 5.X, then it will not support and device / simulator belonging to 4.X. Try connecting a device / simulator as per your latest ios simulator version and your script will execute successfully.
