I receive the following error when trying to launch ios app in the iOS8 simulator:

9/12/14 1:32:02.953 PM com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService[5355]: Error Domain=LaunchServicesError Code=0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (LaunchServicesError error 0.)" UserInfo=0x7fc63f406240 {Error=PackageInspectionFailed, ErrorDescription=Failed to load Info.plist from bundle at path /Users/myexec/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B21BB739-E031-41DA-9FF1-11DA4B4EB7B9/data/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.zJ0bBq/extracted/Myapp.app/Frameworks/LiveSDK.framework}

I can't understand what is wrong. It runs with no problem on iOS 7.1 simulator.

Is your app working well in device? – gunas
No, the error there is something like "Package inspection check failed." – myexec
Restarting simulator solved my problem – Bhavesh

Had the exact same problem. Was using shareKit. But I did not need that LiveSDK support. Thus, after hours of trying to find a solution, I simply put "livesdk" in search box (search in workspace) and removed every entry of it. Also - removed LiveSDK files from Sharekit. And problem disappeared. (Hopefully I will never need to add LiveSDK support).

Even after removing ShareKit I was still seeing this issue. What finally fixed it for me was holding down the Option key and then choosing Product > Clean Build Folder

Launch the iphone simulator then go to simulator->reset contents and settings. Then,quit all the application and restart your mac.

Cleaning the build folder resolved the issue for me. I hope it helps someone!

(While holding down the Alt-key: Product > Clean build folder)

People who do not want to remove ShareKit or LiveSDK, here is another workaround I did. I could copy(link) the Info.plist for LiveSDK.framework to resolve this issue. What all I did was:

ln -s Pods/ShareKit/Frameworks/LiveSDK.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/Info.plist Pods/ShareKit/Frameworks/LiveSDK.framework/

by the way, I installed ShareKit by CocoaPods.

I have just went through this issue, and figured out that this issue is related to memory usage.

To get rid of this : try following ways: - Clean your project

  • Restart Simulator and/or Xcode

  • Check your code, if there are some lines of code utilising high memory.

  • Or, your systems start-up memory is almost full: try free up some space.

  • Lastly, if nothing works restart your system. (This worked for me).

For me, I quit the simulator and then built the code again and it worked perfectly
