Switching simulator to Retina display crashes simulator

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I am trying to test the appearance of my app in the iphone simulator.

In the run config, I have it set to iphone, sdk 4.3. I am using 1.6.2.

It launches the regular simulator. If I go to the Hardware menu in the simulator and choose "iphone retina", the simulator crashes.

this is a glitch in the simulator that some users (including myself once) experience, not Titanium, but to fix it, use spotlight to find/open the iphone simulator directly, and switch it there, then when you rebuild from titanium it will build to the retina iphone.

To permanently fix this, I recommend removing and reinstalling xCode.

  • Thanks for the tip, this worked for me. I may try to uninstall/reinstall xCode at some point, but given the large download size of xCode, launching the simulator manually is a much quicker fix in the short term.

    BTW, on my system, the simulator is located in:

    Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iOS Simulator
