PhotoLibrary won't load on simulator but does on my iPad

I'm creating a multiplatform app on the Beta Xcode and have just migrated code over to set an image from the photo library. When I run the app on my iPad (with beta OS) it works fine. When running the same code on the iOS simulator I end up with a blank view without any images.

There are a lot of errors outputted to the console starting with:

I guess I'm wondering if someone else came across this and how you fixed it. Is it an error on my side or the beta software?

is implemented in both

Don't worry about this. In fact, linker will use one the 2 versions (which are probably the same). That does not cause any error.

.

PhotoLibrary won't load on simulator

That's normal. You just have the default 6 images, for testing. You can add some of your own photos if you need, but not get the full album directly.

any solution
