Simctl doesn't work with XCode 8.1 / iOS 10.1

[stowy]

Trying to launch a simulator with iOS10.1 in XCode 8.1 build tools fails with:

#<SimCtl::Runtime:0x007fb11027c3d8>
#<SimCtl::DeviceType:0x007fb110285118>

Can you please share the code so I can try to reproduce the issue?

[stowy]

sure, let me just test locally after installing the update, i was using a beta version of XCode 8.1

[stowy]

this is the code that isn't running currently:

  require 'simctl'
  puts SimCtl::Runtime.latest(:ios).name
  puts SimCtl.devicetype(name: 'iPhone 6').name

  # Destroy and create devices for given name, type and os version
  runtime = SimCtl::Runtime.latest(:ios)

  name = $options.sim_name
  device = SimCtl.device({"name"=>name})
  created = false
  if device == nil then
    puts "Creating device #{name}"
    device = SimCtl.create_device(name, SimCtl.devicetype(name: 'iPhone 6'), runtime)
    created = true
  end

  if (device.state != :booted) then
    puts "Booting device #{name}"
    device.launch!
    device.wait!{|d| d.state == :booted }
    if !$options.boot_only && !$options.build then
      # Wait for sim to load before running tests
      if created then
        sleep 10
      end
      sleep 5
    end
  end

I think the failure we're seeing is at the wait command

Never mind, seems i was wrong, is working after the latest update. Thanks for your attention and very useful tool!
