Xcode 9.2 simulator not working

Simulator screen is just blank when running. I'm accessing a MAC, along with Xcode, on my PC through MACinCloud service if that makes a difference. How do I fix it so that I can use the simulator?

I'm just learning about programming for the first time so PLEASE make your answers simple (very simple)... Thanks 🙂

Blank or black?


If blank, it may mean you need to wait for your app to finish launching.


If black, note this from Xcode docs:

A simulated iOS 9.0 device may boot to a black screen if Xcode is in a different location than when the device first booted.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same issue (my screen is blank) when trying to run the app from the Apple iOS App tutorial (found here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/Lesson2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015214-CH5-SW1). No amount of waiting gets it to load, it is just always blank 😟

I suspect your issue isn't the same - rotate the view to see if your elements are laying outside current bounds.
