The gist above is what you experience when you manually run the app in in the simulator and then try running cucumber. Re-running cucumber once I shut down the simulator fixed the issue and correctly launched the simulator under waxsim.

Hi Justin,

I'm stuck on this step as well. https://gist.github.com/853726
How did you solve this? What do you mean by shutdown?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

So my mistake was that I was building the app and running it from XCode, then running Cucumber. Because iCuke uses a tool to launch the simulator itself, it was failing (because the simulator was already running). The solution was to quit the simulator and run cucumber, which in turn let it launch the simulator.

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be the problem for me. The problem for me was that I hadn't created build/Debug-iphonesimulator in advance. Got it fixed. : )

@achainan - I just so happened to run into the exact same problem again. This time, the surface-layer cause was that I created the Xcode application with Xcode 4. I trashed the app and created it in Xcode 3.2.x and it worked fine (even after I went in and edited the app using Xcode 4)
