Simulator troubleshooting.

I'm trying to troubleshoot some things by using the iPhone Simulator and I'm running into problems at every step.

I'm unable to install apps. For every app I tried, I got an error like:

(I'm not sure what I should be munging - advice welcome)

Failed to load Info.plist from bundle at path /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/02F3C6F1-D98C-munged-CEE15C81A8A7/data/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.XuaeCX/extracted/Any.app; Extra info about "/Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/02F3C6F1-D98C-munged-CEE15C81A8A7/data/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.XuaeCX/extracted/Any.app/Info.plist": Couldn't stat /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/02F3C6F1-D98C-munged-CEE15C81A8A7/data/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.XuaeCX/extracted/Any.app/Info.plist: No such file or directory

I can't send Messages or turn on Messages in iCloud.

I try and set a passcode and it won't stick.

Is the Info.plist actually present in the app bundle you are trying to install?

Oops. So currently there’s no way to delete an answer that was meant to be a comment?

Realized I didn’t specify that I was trying with popular presumably relatively bug free apps when I wrote “For every app I tried, I got an error like” Not ones I had built. So yes they had the Info plist files.I never did figure this out, but forgot to come back here.
