iOS Simulator never finishes starting

Hi,

I am developing on windows with VS Enterprise, and connected to a mac on the same network and am trying to run the simulator on windows. This was working fine for me a few weeks ago.

Now when I try to run the simulator (perhaps since updating VS and xamarin on my mac last week?) I get the iOS Simulator box and it gets stuck on Connected with the loading bar at the bottom showing its loading forever. Every once and a while it will change from Connected and go to Conneccting to Mac => Checking Server -> Connected, fairly quickly. It never actually starts though. Just seems to be in an endless loop.

Where should I look for problems? Is there a log I can look at? Has anyone else had this problem?

    Mine starts, but OS doesn't. v1.1.3.108

    I found out the problem - XCode required additional components to be installed. See bugzilla.

    Yes, this worked for me. I had a new instance on MacInCloud, and Visual Studio would not connect until I launched Xcode on the hosted mac and built a simple empty project. Maybe that installed additional components or it launched the simulator on the remote computer.

    I found this happens when Mac farts. I have a test app on the Mac and I run it in the simulator to make sure xCode is happy.

    What I found is that the Mac holds on to the Socket and never releases it, sometimes. A restart clears the socket and all is well.

    If you look in the logs you'll see that the Socket connection is blocked when the MQTT call is made.
