Black screen on iOS Simulator Xcode 8

Question

Tried

• Uninstalling then reinstalling Xcode
• reset content & setting on simulator
• crying
• rebooting simulator
• simulating pressing home on simulator
• beta & release version of Xcode
• different device simulators
• starting a new project from scratch and running

Problem I launch my app and it runs, I know this cos I see the log output of a print() in the console. However the simulators screen is blank, just black. No UI at all. I can eliminate my app being the problem as When I press (simulate pressing) home it should show me the springboard but its blank (black screen). I reset content & settings. Blank.

anyone able to help?

Additional:

I have completely deleted Xcode, all traces of it from the Mac. Then reinstalled it. Started a new project and (as before blank screen). However this time I notice an error alert.

Rountined
App quit Unexpectedly

Google finds nothing to suggest what this is or if its related to my issue. However the log file is this, any one able to diagnose the issue?

Answer 1

I have the same - everything works but screen is black. Answer is very simple:

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *loadView;

Avoid to use property with name loadView

Answer 2

The issue has been resolved. I updated to the latest Version 8.2 beta (8C30a) and all works. Not really an answer as still don't know the cause.
