iOS Simulator (11.1) that comes with Xcode 11.1 GM Seed seems to be unable to boot iOS 13.1 devices

Question

I am running Mac OS X Mojave 10.14.6. The only app I have installed is a freshly downloaded Xcode 11.1 GM Seed (11A1027). There are no prior files, projects or apps on this system, as I just wanted to start learning Swift programming.

In Xcode, I have created a fresh project for a single view iOS app. I compiled it without any changes, the build was successful. By default, it launches an iPhone 11 Pro Max on iOS 13.1.

The Simulator launched, the device window appeared and a progress bar was going for a while. After some time, a spinning indicator appeared on a black screen, but nothing ever happened. This went on for a couple minutes, after which Xcode showed this error:

The request to open "com.example.FoodTracker" failed. Unexpected error type.

Details:  The request to open "com.example.FoodTracker" failed. Domain: FBSOpenApplicationServiceErrorDomain Code: 5 Failure Reason: Unexpected error type. User Info: {     BSErrorCodeDescription = InvlaidResponse; } -- The operation couldn't be completed. (BSServiceConnectionErrorDomain error 3.) Domain: BSServiceConnectionErrorDomain Code: 3 User Info: {     BSErrorCodeDescription = OperationFailed; } -- 

I left the device running in Simulator for quite some time but it never stopped spinning.

I have tried reinstalling Xcode, I deleted the DerivedData directory, did a clean build, reinstalled some Xcode components, but I think there is no issue with Xcode, or the project itself.

In the Simulator, I also tried to "Erase All Contents and Settings", quite a few times, to no avail. I tried starting new devices and an iPhone 6s on iOS 12.2 loaded successfully on the first try. On the other hand, I kept trying iOS 13.1 with iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 8 devices, but both get stuck after some loading.

Sometimes I also get this: SpringBoard quit unexpectedly. When I check the details, it seems that a SIGILL terminates it.

Anytime I start an iPhone 11 Pro Max device with iOS 13.1, it keeps spinning endlessly. After checking the system logs, I noticed that the same messages keep looping with ~5s delays inbetween:

I've spent all day googling for solutions but nothing helped so far. I guess in the meantime I will just start developing for 12.2, assuming that the basics are not too different. Although Xcode clearly generates code for 13.0+ and it yells at me that "some", "View" and such are for newer versions.

Answer 1

I had the same issue. Disabling AVX/AVX2 solved for me.

VBoxManage setextradata "$vm_name" VBoxInternal/CPUM/IsaExts/AVX 0 VBoxManage setextradata "$vm_name" VBoxInternal/CPUM/IsaExts/AVX2 0 

Answer 2

yeah, this solution works.

Open cmd

1. cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\"
2. VBoxManage setextradata "$vm_name" VBoxInternal/CPUM/IsaExts/AVX 0
3. VBoxManage setextradata "$vm_name" VBoxInternal/CPUM/IsaExts/AVX2 0
