Removing the application manually inside the simulator working for me,

Answer 3

Run it in the iOS 7 simulator (for you to launch it), go to the "Hardware> Device> select some iOS 6 device or earlier", then apply "iOS Simulator → Reset Content and Settings ..."

Answer 4

I got the same problem and solved using the following method:

• Launch iOS Simulator

• Go and click "iOS Simulator Menu"

• Click "Reset Content and Settings"

• Close the simulator and rebuild the application.

Above the screenshot shows a way how you can do this ...

I think this works for you ... !!!

Answer 5

I had this problem after upgrading to Xcode 5. Running the application on an accessible iOS 7 simulator and installing "Enable this mac for develop" pop-up checks solved the problem.

Answer 6

If you are using XIB or Storyboard. You must set the document type to "Xcode 4.6"

select storyboard → inspector (right panel) → first tab (identifier and type)

Answer 7

I had exactly the same problem. I am rebooting my Mac and now I am downloading it.

EDIT : I tried everything else. I'm sorry I could not answer by providing a more useful option.
