Answer 1

I had this issue a while ago. Here's what helped me:

1. In your iOS simulator, reset content and settings
2. quit your iOS simulator
3. Quit and reopen your Xcode project
4. in Xcode, click Product > Edit Scheme. Change debugger from LLDB to GDB (or none)
5. In Xcode, click Product > Hold down the option button on your keyboard and click 'Clean build folder'
6. Run your project

This works for me... sometimes when I have this error. Here's a good link for some other options for what could be going wrong:

XCode 4 hangs at "Attaching to (app name)"

Good luck!

I had the same issue: In my case, the cause apparently was:

• two singletons,
• each of whom had a pointer to the other,
• in its designated initializer.

Like a figure eight, initializing #1 led to initializing the other (#2), which lead to an attempt to initialize #1 again -- but as a singleton, this (at least, I conjecture that this) meant blowing away the memory address that had the thread - like going back in time and causing your parents to never meet. So the thread was lost without even an error, just a hang.
