Xcode 8 | iOS 10 simulator "Error returned in reply: Connection invalid"

While I am try to run an app in the iOS 10 simulator using xcode8 I get these alerts frequently. They randomly appear two at a time and it is not apparent what is triggering them.

Below is Image for Error I got.

Error Screen shot.

I tried Following things.

  • Clean & Rebuild an app
  • Restart xcode & Simulator
  • Clear Derived Data & Rebuild application.

Solution 1:

Even I was getting the same error. Issue in my case was I was working on xcode 7.3 and its simulator was open, later on I closed xcode 7 and opened xcode 8 and tried running app and got the above error.

I guess its happening because of both the simulator were open, it got solved when I closed my older simulator. Seem to be some problem while xcode 8 was trying to establish connection with simulator.

Solution 2:

You just follow these steps to remove this error it's working fine in my side and i hope these steps work to you also just try it.

 i)Remove multiple xcode versions.
ii)Quit all Xcode and simulators. 
iii)Only one version you opened.
