I’m having this annoyning problem giving this message in the console: Failed to launch simulated application: iPhone Simulator failed to find the process ID of com.iAndApp.BlockPop.
When trying to Build and Run, the application builds fine. The simulator starts but doesn’t start the application. However, it manages to do something since the icon for the app is installed in the simulator.
I have been searching to find the answer and tried a couple of things, none that worked.
This happens for both new and old projects. I.e. when I create a new project I will receive the same error message. I’ve tried several projects of which all get the same error, so it’s not related to the code (and successful builds proves it).
Among other things I have updated to xCode 3.2.2. in order to try to solve the problem. Using Mac OSX 10.6.3.
Here are the logs:

Where do I start?
I am really stuck and would be most greatful for any help!
Well, restaring the computer made it work. Feels like PC… 😉 Not sure if that was the sole solution or if the other activities I made helped out as well.
