can't build and run in simulator

Hi,

I’ve got no problem building and running my app on devices, but when I try to Build and “Open in XCode iOS Simulator” I get the following error:

What version of Corona are you building with?

Are you using AdMob ads?

The iOS Simulator requires a different plugin since it’s running on an X86 processor instead of the ARMv7 processors that mobile devices use. When we make plugins we make a iOS Xcode simulator specific version of plugins.

You’re not including it here:

[“plugin.google.play.services”] =
       {
           – required
           publisherId = “com.coronalabs”, – don’t change, it’s the publisher of the plugin
           supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true }
       },

You are saying "only load the plugin for iOS and Android. You have two choices:

Remove that line. That way we will load the plugin on any device you build for. If it’s unsupported, you will get a stub plugin that basically makes all the functions not do anything, but the app will work because the plugin isn’t erroring.
Update supportedPlatforms to include the iOS Simulator:

[“plugin.google.play.services”] =
       {
           – required
           publisherId = “com.coronalabs”, – don’t change, it’s the publisher of the plugin
           supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true,[“iphone-sim”] = true }
       },
