Could not run simple demo UITest for IOS at Xamarin Studio

Question

I am trying to run the demo for UITest on iOS platform here. I can not run the UI test, even though building the project without a problem.

This is the error information:

SetUp : Calabash.XDB.Core.Exceptions.DeviceAgentException : Failed to launch simulator

I am using Xamarin test cloud to run UITest of Xamarin android and xamarin ios project. I have tried both. For Xamarin.ios project, my setup method looks like below,

app = ConfigureApp .iOS .PreferIdeSettings() .StartApp();

As instructed in default UITest, you need to perform below steps. Edit the AppDelegate class and add the following snippet to the FinishedLaunching method...

#if ENABLE_TEST_CLOUD
Xamarin.Calabash.Start();
#endif

Make sure you are adding "ENABLE_TEST_CLOUD" debug variable in debug configuration of project or remove if, endif (always allow Xamarin.calabash.start(). and post the UiTest to xamarin test cloud from release configuration build. Just make sure in this case, remove above statement when you are submiiting your app to app store.

In unit test window (of Xamarin studio), add ios app and then run the test with test cloud. Make sure you have xamarin account to run test on test cloud.

Then it asks devices on which test will be running. You can select 1 or many.
