Cannot run app using ios simulator

[vyau]

Dear All:

I am unable to launch ios simulator from QtCreator.
The ios simulator kit, under "run", the "Device Type" is an empty list.

It turns out, I am running into this problem:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-16942

if I execute:
Qt Creator.app/Contents/Resources/ios/iossim showdevicetypes

I got an empty list.

How do I fix this problem?

thanks

Hi,

One possibility is to build Qt Creator yourself or try to rebuild and replace the plugin since it has been fixed. In the second case, watch out to use the same Qt version that was used to build Qt Creator.

@SGaist thanks for your input. Will give them a try.
Sorry for the duplicate post.

You could also try the Qt Creator 4.2 RC that was released a few days ago (see Qt blog). I had the same problem as you and that worked for me.

@Schluchti Thanks for your tip. I resorted to downgrading my Xcode version to 7.x and that seems to have fixed most of my issues for now.
I will try your suggestion in a few days....Need to meet a deadline so I must have something working soon.
Thanks again!
