XCode 5.1 updated and now I can't debug AIR apps on iOS Simulator anymore

Today XCode updated itself to version 5.1, with new iOS 7.1 platform support. It updated itself without asking permission, and now I can't run my AIR apps on the iOS simulator anymore. All my apps fail with the following error:

'Launching [myApplication]' has encountered a problem.

Error occurred while installing the application:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/iPhoneSimulatorRemoteClient.framework/Versions/A/iPhoneSimulatorRemoteClient

  Referenced from: /Applications/AIR_SDKS/AIRSDK_4.0.0.1628/lib/aot/bin/isb/isb

I use AIR SDK 4.0.1628 (the latest version according to the SDK download page today), and it doesn't make a difference if I choose another simulator version (7.0 and 6.1 fail the same way).

I'm developing in Flash Builder 4.7, on OS X 10.9.2

Any ideas of how to fix this? Will using the AIR 13 beta help?

Thanks, Frank

The problem with this is that the iPhoneSimulatorRemoteClient.framework is not in the 7.1 SDK. I havent figured out if it exists and is in a different location or not yet, but Ive been struggling with the same problem. I think the answer for now might be removing XCode 5.1 and rolling back to 5.0.

I see that other tools are having the same issue, and a fix is needed in the tool. Hopefully that is true for Flash too:

Hi Frank,

Issue is reproducible at our end as well and we are investigating it.

Thanks,

We are having the same issue.

Things I have tried to do to fix this:  Re-installed XCode and redownloaded the simulators, updated iTunes.  This did not work.
