Unable to install the application on iOS Simulator

Adobe Animate 2017 (build 16.0.0.112)

AIR SDK 23.0 for iOS

Xcode 8.1

Trying to run app on iOS Simulator and getting the error "Unable to install the application on iOS Simulator".

Path to iOS Simulator SDK is set to

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk

Actually selected this path below in Finder but appears to be an alias to the path above

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator10.1.sdk

Oddly, the 10.1 iOS Simulator doe NOT show up under Xcode->Preferences->Components. The latest version is 10.0

Any one able to suggest a solution to this and especially why the simulator does not appear under Components?

Console output shows this log entry when attempting to run app on simulator:

Failed to find class DTiPhoneSimulatorSystemRoot at runtime.

I checked with today's Animate update, still doesn't work. Might need to be fixed in the AIR SDK.


The release notes say this has been fixed in the latest Air 25 SDK (released today), hope it helps:

Xcode 9 iOS 11 simulator is now 64bit only. AIR outputs 32bit for simulator builds. Adobe will need to update AIR for iOS 11, hopefully in next version.

Hi! The beta does work on the initial build to the iOS simulator, but changing devices and building again doesn't. I submitted a bug in the tracker here: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/AIR-4198255​ (page doesn't load for me now, maybe the tracker is down?)

Also I have a similar thread going here: Unable to install the application on iOS Simulator

Did you ever figure this out?

Not yet. There's a thread going here: Unable to install the application on iOS Simulator

And the bug has been reported to Adobe, which has it in the "To Test" stage here: Tracker

We'll see if it gets worked out.

I have the same issue with the same setup. Also just tried AIR 24 Beta (build177) with no luck.

Will proceed to slam face against wall...
