Hey, I was thinking about this problem.. It shows in a traceback that it failed at line 57, in query_yes_no The line 57 is sys.stdout.write(question + prompt), so, probably either question or prompt contain this weird sybmol that it cannot encode. If I follow up with a prompt, then it seems like it can only be one of [y/n], or [Y/n], or [y/N] where I see no problematic symbols. However the question part, is coming from a call at line 654:

if query_yes_no("Import certificate to " + simulator.title, "no") == "yes":

and it constructs the question out from Import certificate to and simulator.title.

But the simulator title does have a weird symbol nowadays. One of such is iPhone Xʀ, note the ʀ, which is like a small capital "R". So I think that symbol is causing an issue..
