Error when testing on iOS simulator: Couldn't register with the bootstrap server

I was testing my app on the simulator when it crashed on clicking a button of a UIAlertView. I stopped debugging there, made some changes to the code and built the app again. Now when I run the application, I get this error in the console

Couldn't register com.myApp.debug with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code. This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger.Program received signal: “SIGABRT”.

I tried removing the app from the simulator, doing a clean build but I still get this error when I try to run the app.

What should I do to be able to run the app on my simulator again?

If this happens when testing on the iPhone. Just restart the phone. From what I have been told the phone or simulator still believes there is an instance of the app running, so when it was last run it had not terminated correctly do to either an error in your code or the phone/simulator just wanted to have a moan.

No rebuild or reinstall needed for my issue, and in my case the error appeared when trying to run the app on the iPhone. Simulator worked fine.

Solution: Delete app off phone, do a cold restart of phone and now all is well.
