I have XCode 5.1
working without problems with iOS 7.1 simulators until yesterday when I upgraded to Xcode 6
, the installation was completed successfully, but whenever I try to download and install iOS 7.1 simulator from Preferences -> Downloads
, it gives me this weird message:
Could not download and install iOS 7.1 Simulator. Failed to mount file:///Users/myusername/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads/Xcode.SDK.iPhoneSimulator.7.1-7.1.dmg at file:///var/folders/f8/4wmmmwj17_96v9jp7h1f4gqc0000gn/T/attached-image-85355a6e6ed97fd1899b8ef3a6052181e745b5fb/: image not recognized
I searched for such error but couldn't find any clue to solve it.
I completely removed XCode
using CleanMyMac 2
app, restarted the machine, re-installed Xcode
from MAC App Store
, the installation was successful, restarted the machine again, and then tried to install iOS 7.1 simulator but to no avail.
