Is this only on the simulator? Can you run your app on a real device?

Same problem here. Simulator and real device. And only for existing projects. If I a create a new one, everything is fine. But none of my existing apps could be started.
Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem. Deleting the file as no effect and I do have read & write permissions, but maybe not execute? IDK because finder doesn't let you add execute. This all worked fine before Xcode12 forced update. Thanks...

The more important question is why do people ask questions here?
Clearly Apple as no interest in supporting their products.
