I’m having some issues with the iPhone simulators after upgrading to Lion and XCode 4.1. When I launch the simulator for 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2 (which I restored from Time Machine), I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error pretty much immediately on this:
0x003c23dc <+0012> call 0x3c23e1 <__springboard_unimplemented+17>
On 4.3, I also get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error immediately, on objc_msgSend, and from what I can tell, it’s happening before the application even launches.
I’ve tried cleaning the targets to no avail, and NSZombieEnabled doesn’t seem to help.
The app runs perfectly on my iPhone.
EDIT: Uninstalled and reinstalled Xcode, didn’t help. A blank new project runs fine. After setting some breakpoints, it looks like it’s failing on this line in main.m (which isn’t very helpful):
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
EDIT: As requested, here’s the thread apply all bt full:
For the 4.2 simulator, this is repeated ~5800 times, with a different memory address each time:

Ok, so after weeks and weeks, I finally found the solution: fixing my linker flags according to this comment: EXC_BAD_ACCESS when copying or retaining Block
Essentially you change
-weak_library /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylibto-weak-lSystem.I had originally added this because Urban Airship required it.
