Simulator shows Black screen during execution if it is already opened before the run.

Description

i having issue in Xcode simulator which shows Black screen always if simulator is already opened, though i have already set fullrest as True. I know the app does run because I can see the output in the Debug Area at the bottom and it is as expected.

(this issue happens when simulator is not quite before session)
