Launching a Corona App in XCode Simulator

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I have been trying to launch my app in the Xcode simulator because I understand that it has built-in screenshot tools (instead of my current way of taking Corona simulator screenshots and editing them).

I “Build for iOS” and set the “Build for:” pulldown to “Xcode Simulator.” The result dialog says “Your application is installing/launching in the Xcode simulator,” but nothing actually happens. I get the same result if Xcode is already running or not.

I have also tried opening the app file in Xcode using the “Open…” menu option, but all I get is blank window with an app icon the the circle-and-slash symbol superimposed on it.

I am using Corona Version 2014.2189 (2014.3.6)

Thank you

I think you probably need to update Corona. Xcode changed something recently and it stopped working.

I am not generally in the habit of using daily updates of anything for production (I intend to submit the app to Apple the next few days), but since this is apparently the way to go for this problem, I installed 2014.2300 and the Apple simulator works as expected now.

Thanks!
