Cant run app on simulator "The operation couldn’t be completed. (LaunchServicesError error 0.)"

I have an app on Xcode that was running just fine earlier. but all of the sudden it has stopped working when I try to run it. There was no code changed, and I don't know what happened. The error message is:

"The operation couldn’t be completed. (LaunchServicesError error 0.)"

When I look into the CoreSimulator log file I get this:

Jan 8 11:43:55 C02PG69EG3QD com.apple.dt.Xcode[7083] : Error Domain=LaunchServicesError Code=0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (LaunchServicesError error 0.)" UserInfo=0x7fc597a59240 {Error=PackageExtractionFailed, ErrorDescription=Failed to copy file:///Users/myUsername/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/myApp-eyozcttdojgdpgdstfspqjxsztrb/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/myApp.app/ to file:///Users/myUsername/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/DAC0E72A-6F6A-42EA-A8CA-5F41E22F2CCC/data/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.qtgx1Q/extracted/myApp.app/}

Basically it says that Xcode can't copy the file from one place to other. So I thought it might be a permissions issue. I did chmod with 777 to both folders, but that didn't work.

I also tried 'Reset content and setting' for simulator, it gave me permission error to remove certain files, so i did it manually. and this method didnt work either.

I have tried:

None of the above worked for me.

Note: one thing that was working, was if I run it through my iPhone via USB connection.

I guess to solve this problem, I will need to figure out the way for Xcode to be able to copy file to its destination. Does anyone have any clue for this?

Usually stuff like that just requires you to delete DerivedData which is what I just had to do to fix it. I just use the following script in Automator:

do shell script "rm -frd '$(getconf DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR).org.llvm.clang/ModuleCache'"

do shell script "rm -frd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*"

do shell script "rm -frd ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/*"

I just deleted my "DerivedData" in Xcode for my application and everything starts working file. In finder Go-->GotoFolder-->"/Users/myUsername/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData". Delete your app folder and run again.

just rename bundleIdentifier-->com.sample.myTest to anything like -->com.sample.myTests. It works on Xcode 8.2

Just force quit the Simulator and restart again.Then run the source code.

I got this today. I have not changed anything, but I was opening a branch that was used by a user who had upgraded Xcode to 7.3, Monday's new version. Closing the simulator app fixed it for me.

I ran into this today. I had just changed the bundle identifier on my app, which invalidated the app id and the provisioning profiles. As a result, the app couldn't installed (with that alert). Once I made new app id's and profiles, things worked fine.
