Could not start simulator session <Buffer@0x0 >

[neurotech]

After going through the installation process on OSX Yosemite and going through the quick start process:

tns create MyApp
tns platform add ios
tns run ios --emulator

I get the following error and the end of the build process:

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

Project successfully built
Using  /Users/neurotech/tmp/nativescript/MyApp/platforms/ios/build/emulator/MyApp.app
Cleaning up before starting the iOS Simulator
Starting iOS Simulator
Specify the timeout in number of seconds to wait. It should be greater than 0. Default value 90 seconds will be used.
Could not start simulator session  <Buffer@0x0 >

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi @neurotech Can you try executing the command with --log trace option and send us the output:

tns run ios --emulator --log trace

Also which version of XCode are you using? You can try increasing the timeout by specifying --timeout 300 for example

I have XCode 6.1 (6A1046a). 6.2 is out but the App Store doesn't think XCode needs to be updated. I am going to reinstall just to be sure.

Regardless here's the trace output: https://gist.github.com/neurotech/efe0674dd9b820c903db

I am still getting the error after removing XCode 6.1 and installing 6.2. Here's the trace:

Hi @neurotech,

Does starting simulator standalone from Xcode work?

[neurotech]

Hi @Fatme,

Yes it works when launched from within XCode - I can browse the web with Safari, etc.

Hi @neurotech,

This is very strange.. Can you try to execute node <path to tns>\node_modules\ios-sim-portable\lib\ios-sim.js launch <path to your .app> and send us the output?

<path to your .app> should be <your project root>/platforms/ios/build/emulator

Hi @neurotech , can you please try with the latest release of the CLI -1.0.1?
