Change the Debugger from GDB to None (this doesn't make sense to me.).Ĩ- Kill the process gdb-i386-apple-darwin from Activity Monitor. select Projects, select your app in the left hand side and then delete over 'Derived Data'Ħ- Check Launch option is set to 'Automatically' in Product->Edit Scheme, 'Run' scheme.ħ- In Project->'Edit Schemes'->Run. when you reopen xcode those files will be recreated and it should work…Ĥ- Manually delete the build directory for your project.ĥ- Go to organizer window. inside there delete anything named with your userid. if they are different, it will fail.ģ- go to your projectname.xcodeproj folder.

in build settings tab, go to packaging and make sure that 'Product Name' is the same that the one xcode says simulator is attaching to when running. each one is a possible solution:ġ- restart xcode and/or restart simulator (reset content and settings) and/or restart computer.Ģ- click on project name in project navigator. Please note, this is not a sequence of steps. XCode 4 hangs at 'Attaching to (app name)'Īnd surprisingly, besides the accepted answer on that thread, there are at least 10 other possible solutions others have been adding, all for the same issue, people says one of them worked while the others didn't. In xcode 4.2, sometimes when you're going to run your ios proj on simulator, the status windows says 'Attaching to myapp', and just gets stuck there.
