I have copied Xcode Version 9.0 (9A235) from my friends Macbook and replaced with my Xcode 8.3.2

When I run my app in any simulator say iPhone 8 or iPhone X, I am getting same error:

Failed to create IXPlaceholder for app bundle ID com.*****.****

enter image description here

Simulator is showing black screen and not loading iOS 11

  • I think the issue is with Simulator, coz when I run only simulator it should show my apple Icon and load iOS and show home screen, but its not, its just showing me black screen. – Irfan Anwar Sep 18 '17 at 05:46

    Simple solution to this problem is just download XCode 9.0 from this [link](https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_9_GM_seed_build_9A235/Xcode_9_GM_seed.xip) and run xcode after unzipping and simulator issue will be gone – Irfan Anwar Sep 18 '17 at 07:13
  • Please stop adding irrelevant tags to your question. This question has nothing to do with the Swift programming language or a physical iPhone device. – rmaddy Sep 18 '17 at 15:31

Xcode shouldn't really be simply copied off a system where it's already installed onto a new system. The best solution would be to download the Xcode 9 GM from the developer site, or the Mac App Store when the Xcode 9 update goes live in a few days. However, before then, you could try running xcode-select --install to see if the additional required components are installed with that

  • Thanks your answer is quite helpful but still there should be some solution to it, Xcode is running fine, it is compiling source code fine, just issue is with simulator. – Irfan Anwar Sep 18 '17 at 06:21

    That's correct. Xcode requires separate components that are not necessarily in its bundle in `/Applications` for debugging and testing (i.e. running the simulator). Thus, just copy/pasting Xcode out of somewhere that it's already installed will break those things – Michael Hulet Sep 18 '17 at 06:22

    I also copied Xcode from another machine and faced this issue. After trying multiple solutions for a whole day, I just re-installed the Xcode and it worked. – Umair Afzal Sep 03 '18 at 09:24

    I'm experiencing the same problem after moving XCODE app to another drive. – R01010010 Sep 22 '18 at 11:40

I fix this problem by deleting item(key and value) which was wrong in Info.plist. I think you can try to delete items one by one for checking.
