Why SpringBoard failed to launch application with error: -3

Question

I am new to iOS 7, I am getting SpringBoard failed to launch application with error: -3 with Xcode 5

Answer 1

Another possible reason: too little available RAM. This happened for me (old iMac with only 3GB of RAM, running too many apps at once) as I addressed in this answer:

Answer 2

Sometimes this happens when you modify the elements in the Interface Builder: Try the following methods, if you are sure all your elements are properly hooked in IB

1.Clen build by: CMD+SHIFT+K
2. Go to Project Navigator->Select your project->General Then Deployment Info-> Devices, then Toggle Bettween iPad and iPhone, Thats is to say, if your project was targeted for iPad, then select iPhone, then Reselect iPad . See image below: Then run the project, you should be good to go.
