Does anyone know the fix to why my iOS Simulator is continuously showing a black screen with a white apple logo? I've searched on all sorts of forums, but no one has been able to give a concrete answer yet.
This has started to happen ever since I upgraded to Xcode 7, and I'm unable to run any of my applications on my iOS simulator. No matter how long I wait, it continues to show that screen.

You would have to extract the Simulator pkg from the Xcode DMG. The only thing is that the Simulator depends on having an SDK installed, that way it knows which iOS to run the app in.
Just like an APK (Android Application Package) file can be installed on Android devices, an IPA file can be used for testing iOS applications. You can even push it to the app stores to publish your app. You can think of an IPA file like a simple ZIP file.
The basic way to open a list of simulators is to use Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators. Here you can create and manage all available simulators. But you cannot run them directly. You need to build your application on the simulator, and then you can run it.
ctrl+cmd+z. Pause . 5 seconds for menu to appear. Click the reload button image.
Simulator -> Reset Content and Settings...
Doing that fixed it for me.
