Unable to boot the simulator, launchd failed to respond Xcode

I downloaded Xcode 10.1 from AppStore but it had some errors at startup and couldn't show up. So I downgraded Xcode to version 10.0 (10A255) from Apple official downloads. IDE works fine but now I can't start simulator. I've tried every possible solution on the internet for hours. Here is the logs:

What can I do?

Solution

  • Goto 'About this mac' -> 'Storage' -> 'Developer'. Delete Xcode Caches. Then try again! enter image description here
