iOS Unable to run app in simulator Xcode 6.1(6A1052d)

We are buiding an iOS applicaiton in Swift. The XCode we are using is Xcode 6.1(6A1052d).

Our issue is when we run the app in Simulator (5, 5s, 6) the app is not running in the sumulator.

It is giving an error.

Unable to run app in simulator.

An error was encountered while running(Domain = NSPOSIXErrorDomain, Code = 3)

We tried clean & build, delete caches, restart xcode etc. But not worked. We have one other machine with same XCode version. On that machine it works fine.

Any clues?

Tried the solutions given in Xcode6 can't run any app in simulator ( Domain = NSPOSIXErrorDomain, Code = 3 ). But not worked.

As mentioned in the Xcode 6.1 Release Notes and in my sticky post in the Apple Developer Forums for the iOS Simulator, this is a known bug in iOS.

Upon installation of an app, SpringBoard will SIGKILL that app's process in order to force a relaunch of the app with the new executable. The problem is that there is a race condition whereby SpringBoard may accidentally SIGKILL a new process that we just launched rather than the old process. Which of the various error messages you get depends on exactly when in the launch process the SIGKILL was delivered. Normally, this shouldn't happen, so the advise is to just try again (sorry =/). If you find that this happes to you all the time or more frequently than you can tollerate, we are incredibly sorry. We are aware that systems with slower disk I/O will see this happen more frequently than faster systems, so if you are using an NFS home directory, you may want to create a local directory for your simulator data and setup a simlink to it from ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator
