IOS simulator showing black on 3/4 of a screen

I tried several applications working in the new installation (yosemite) of the Xcode 6.3 simulator, but all of them are displayed only on the first 1/4 of the simulator screen.

I changed the scaling - it did not help.
All devices have this problem.
On another Mac, applications appear correctly in the simulator.

Here is a screenshot from the simulator:

I often have this problem with the VMWare OSX development machine, which I use to develop my own iOS applications. From what I saw, it is related to the Window> Scale menu option set to something other than 100% of the previous run, which confuses all subsequent initialization phases.

To get rid of it, try to do this:

  • Exit full-screen mode VMWare, instead switch to windowed mode.
  • Launch iOS Simulator using its standalone shortcut (not Xcode) and wait for the device to boot / load by default.
  • go to Window> Zoom and set it to 100%.
  • go to iOS Simulator> Reset content and settings ... and click OK.
  • close and reopen the iOS simulator using its standalone application (and not Xcode).

Once you see the boot without crashing, you can return to full-screen VMWare mode, and use Window> Zoom as you like.
