iOS Simulator not loading

Post by AlexP » Sat Sep 19, 2020 10:37 am

Next day, next issue:

After setting up the interface to XCode, I tried the 'test' button.

My test-app is compiled and after, the simulator loads a ery small screen and hangs. LC says something like 'loading takes too long'. after that, simulator and LC needs to be restarted.

What's that?

(Don't have a permission to post a screenshot :? )

This bug seems to depend on iOS Version in the emulator. With a different OS version, things are running better ..

Hi Alex,

you could start the simulator, which is an app inside of the Xcode app package, independently before you start LC.
That may help.

Good news:
You have >= 7 postings and now you can post links etc. :-)


Best

Klaus is right, the simulator needs to be fully launched and running before LC will work. The OS version or hardware doesn't matter as long as the simulator is fully loaded.
