When you will get this " SpringBoard failed to launch application with error: -3 " error, just use following solutions,

Solution 1 :

  • Just quit Simulator
  • Goto product menu
  • Clean project
  • Now build app

This will not show this Alert again.

Solution 2 :

  • If the problem still occurs then delete the App from Simulator
  • Re-run the code.

This will work since the app contents are loaded freshly...

Hope this will work for you....!!!

Another possible reason: too little available RAM. This happened for me (old iMac with only 3GB of RAM, running too many apps at once) as I addressed in this answer:

Sometimes this happens when you modify the elements in the Interface Builder: Try the following methods, if you are sure all your elements are properly hooked in IB

1.Clen build by: CMD+SHIFT+K
2. Go to Project Navigator->Select your project->General Then Deployment Info-> Devices, then Toggle Bettween iPad and iPhone, Thats is to say, if your project was targeted for iPad, then select iPhone, then Reselect iPad . See image below: enter image description here Then run the project, you should be good to go.
