Yesterday I was working on an iPhone application with a tab bar when suddenly IB started crashing for the following reason:
Approval message: Interface Builder encountered an error communicating with iPhone Simulator. If you decide to record a crash report or radar for this problem, please check Console.app for crash reports for the “Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Tool” and include their contents in your crash report.
I tried to check the following:
- start with a blank standard tab bar template. It's a failure
- remove Xcode and that's it
- clear the remaining old file
- reinstall it
- restore from an old Xcode backup
None of the above worked :( Can any of you give me some suggestion on how to proceed? I'm on Snow Leopard and use XCode 3.2.5 and SDK 4.3(no other SDK for iDevice is installed). BTW I can run Simulator without problems ...
Below is a complete trace of the exception:
