Today, I've updated my iMac to macOS Mojave from macOS High Sierra. Since then I'm not able to open simulator. Every time I tried to open the simulator that crashes immediately. Whenever I tried to run the simulator via Xcode then Xcode shows this error

Timed out waiting for the simulator application for iphonesimulator to become ready

Also, I tried to open the simulator directly and it's crash immediately. Here the gif (gif is a little bit slow) -

Here some solution that I've tried but no luck -

  1. Clear iPhone Simulator Cache

    xcrun simctl erase all
    
  2. Clear DerivedData

    ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
    
  3. Clear iOS DeviceSupport

    ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/
    
  4. Delete Xcode Preferences

    defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode
    
  5. Restart Xcode & System

This command should fix your issue (close sim before and open after):

sudo killall -10 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService

After this, restart Xcode and if simulator not available then we need to add them manually from Windows > Device and Simulators

This resolved my issue

  1. Force quit simulator by:- option + command + esc choose simulator and quit.

  2. Quit Xcode and restart then it worked!
