Sprite kit project builds and runs on device but not simulator

Question

I have a problem with xcode. I can create a project with the default templates such as single view application/empty application/spritekit game. All templates will build and work, except for spritekit.

Without making any changing to the default spritekit project it builds fine, but crashes with SIGABRT signal. It works fine when I build and run on my device. I have quit xcode/restarted mac but still get this error. I have downloaded sample spritekit projects and have the same error with them too.

Answer 1

Cleared out temporary folders/resetting ios simulator and nothing worked - ended up having to remove xcode and reinstalling it.
