I just upgraded to Xcode 5.0.1 on OSX Mavericks and upgraded Xcode to 5.0.1. When I try to launch an app on iOS 7.0.3 Simulator, the Simulator won't launch. The app will launch on iOS 6.1 Simulator, but the iOS 7.0.3 Simulator just gets stuck on a black screen.
Anyone else have this issue? I've tried re-installing XCode as well and still get the same problem.

Open Xcode and click Menu > Xcode > Preferences > Select Components, and then choose the simulator version you want to download. When a simulator is opened from AppStudio, AppStudio Player automatically installs (if necessary) and opens in it.
Well, that's not entirely true, you can actually still directly launch iOS Simulator without opening Xcode first by creating an alias. Note that modern versions of Xcode and OS X call the iOS Simulator simply “Simulator”, where you go will depend on which version of OS X the Mac is running.
Just type this command in Terminal: open -a Simulator. app to launch the most recent simulator. Type this command in Terminal to run the Simulator rigth from the its folder.
I'm also having same problem in Xcode 5.0.1/OS X 10.8.5. Finally, able to resolve it.
First clean project (Cmd+K) and then run your project the iOS 6.1 simulator. When app is running well in iOS 6.1, stop the app (Cmd+dot) in Xcode and switch to Simulator app and reset it. Then change it iOS 7.0.3 (from hardware menu) and again reset it after 2-3 min. Now you should see the iOS 7 simulator working. Doh...
