I just ran into the same issue. I’m using build 2017.3068. I also see the same messages at the Xcode log and nothing odd at the Corona console.
Seeing the same thing on both of my dev machines (which are set up a bit differently).
I don’t suppose you’ve figured it out?
What plugins are you using?
Is xxx.yyy.zzz the real bundleID for your app?
What Xcode simulator device are you trying to simulate?
Rob
I’ve tried building for different devices. This build window started out on “iPhone SE” when I first got the error to begin with. I’ve switched it to “iPhone 5s” without any effect.
I created a simple “hello” app and tried to run it after posting the above. The app is called “hitest”. It did the same thing:

Okay, what is really odd is that I tried running it again this morning and got this:

This is without having changed anything.
The app is very simple and doesn’t use any images. Just these files:
main.lua
build.settings
config.lua
Launch.png
Launch@2x.png
Launch@3x.png
LaunchScreen.storyboardc
I added the launch images last night following directions here:
https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/launchFile/index.html
Googling this 2nd error seems to indicate there is something wrong with the png files (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39652867/code-sign-error-in-macos-sierra-xcode-8-resource-fork-finder-information-or).
Seems like some sort of xcode error/issue, but the fix suggested (eliminating the resource fork) didn’t help.
I think either something is wrong with the xcode setup or I am just doing something dumb.
What happens if you try to build one of our sample apps like HelloWorld?
Rob
@Rob No, xxx.yyy.zz is a placeholder here, the app in question has a proper id.
Anyway, I sort of “solved” the problem by removing all simulators from within Xcode (I’m away from the Mac currently but it’s done in View->Devices or something like that), then uninstalling Xcode itself and reinstalling it from the Appstore.
I still have no idea what happened. In no console, log or anywhere else was there a single clue as to what could be wrong.
Since reinstalling Xcode solved the issue, I would guess it was caused by some technical hiccup during updating/building/whatever of Xcode or Corona. It has worked fine for a couple of days now.
I should have thought to try that. “Hello World” runs and the build seems to complete:

However, it still “hangs” while “Copying app to Xcode iOS Simulator…”
The xcode log looks the same as above:

The simulator has to boot up just like starting a phone or tablet from power-off state. Once it’s up and running I’ve not had issues with Corona apps starting on it.
Rob
Unfortunately, deleting the simulators and xcode, then reeinstalling from the app store didn’t work for me. I am still getting the same error trying to run anything in an iOS device simulator. Launching the simulator first doesn’t help. Output from system log is below (but I think it is the same as before).
I think I figured out the error about “detritus” in the app, however. I was putting the build on my desktop, which is synced to icloud. Moving the build to a folder that isn’t synced to icloud hasn’t resulted in that error.
I hoped this fix might solve the issue with the iOS simulator, but it didn’t:

So, it seems like there’s something going on in the handoff between the corona build script and the iOS simulator?
@john carlson
I think this might be an important observation.
I also had the app on desktop which is synced with iCloud.
Yet another thing that might be linked to the problem: at first I had not enough space on my iCloud so the folder had trouble syncing. Apart from reinstalling Xcode to get it to work, I also got more space on iCloud in the meantime.
Just to clarify, I tried waiting for +/- an hour as well as launching the app when the emulator was already running. Regardless of the simulated device, the simulator would output some stuff suggesting that it wanted to open an app that’s wasn’t there, falling into a retry-loop on “copying app to xcode simulator”. I’m pretty sure the binary wasn’t copied at all.
When reinstalling xcode, did just trash the app and reinstall it? Or did you track down and trash all xcode-related preferences as well?
I just trashed the app, so I may need to be more thorough.
Okay, I feel like I’ve tried almost everything.
I’ve uninstalled xcode and Corona SDK using an app removal tool.
I’ve run OS scripts and cleared caches using Cocktail.
I’ve rebooted a few times.
I’ve reinstalled xcode and Corona SDK.
I’ve deleted devices from the CoreSimulator folder.
I’ve tried using no provisioning profile, a development profile, and a team development profile.
The build folder is on my (local) hard drive.
I’ve tried both the “HelloWorld” and “Clock” apps that come with Corona (in addition to the app I was working on).
I’ve tried running the apps from a different User account.
I always get the same error about the application being unknown to FrontBoard while Corona “hangs” trying to copy the app.
Any help/ideas what to try next? I’ll update if I figure something out.
I’m asking Engineering to look into this.
Rob
Try running Xcode and starting the simulator from there then have Corona build to it.
Also, if you haven’t rebooted in a while try that as well.
Rob
Thanks so much for the help – it’ll be late tonight or tomorrow before I can get back to it. School play to get to.
I have tried using the simulator started from xcode, but I’ll reboot and give it another shot.
I am still able to install an app directly to my iphone, so that’s really good.
Can you also try these steps:
In the Xcode simulator do “Simulator -> Reset contents and files”
Deleted existing Corona builds from your build folder.
Chose “None” in provisioning field in Corona build window
Then try your build.
Rob
@john carlson
No, I just trashed Xcode, didn’t do any additional “cleaning”.
When I had this problem I tried these:
In the Xcode simulator do “Simulator -> Reset contents and files”
Deleted existing Corona builds from your build folder.
Chose “None” in provisioning field in Corona build window
Then try your build.
and most of these:
I’ve uninstalled xcode and Corona SDK using an app removal tool.
I’ve run OS scripts and cleared caches using Cocktail.
I’ve rebooted a few times.
I’ve reinstalled xcode and Corona SDK.
I’ve deleted devices from the CoreSimulator folder.
I’ve tried using no provisioning profile, a development profile, and a team development profile.
The build folder is on my (local) hard drive.
I’ve tried both the “HelloWorld” and “Clock” apps that come with Corona (in addition to the app I was working on).
I’ve tried running the apps from a different User account.
After reinstalling Xcode and enabling more space on my iCloud it started to work but I’m not 100% sure it wasn’t linked to something else I might have done in the meantime.
It just worked, but I have no idea why.
I thought I’d try a quick test before rebooting and getting to work. I didn’t do anything really new.
I just did the following:
Deleted files in CoreSimulator
Deleted all traces of prior builds*
Pointed new build to a build folder on my hd (the same folder I’ve been using to avoid the “detritus” issue)
Started xcode and launched the simulator (iPhone 6 is what launched)
Reset contents and settings in the simulator
Built the project in Corona using no provisioning profile and set it to launch in iPhone 6/10.3
After a brief delay, the app started up in the running iOS simulator.
The device log looks good now.
I’ve done all of this before.
*The only potentially different thing I did was locate an extra old build from yesterday and move it to the trash. I don’t think this is “the solution” since the problem was occurring when trying to run apps I hadn’t previously built (from the Corona sample code folder) and that didn’t have any older builds to delete.
Not sure if this will keep working, but thank you both for the help. I’ll update if I learn anything more.
I had the same problem and running simulator from xcode before building trough corona worked for me
