Unable to connect to simulator.

Former Member over 5 years ago

I've read through every thread I can find on the issue and have been unable to resolve this issue. I moved the sdk to my user directory where there are no spaces in the path, no spaces in my project or eclipse path either. I can open the connectiq sim from the cli and have telnet(nc) 127.0.0.1 1234 successfully, but every time i try to run a build in the simulator i get the same response: Unable to connect to simulator. I've also tried uninstalling the sdk/eclipse and reinstalling with no luck. has anyone figured out how to actually fix this?

OSX Catalina

SDK: latest

There’s a gremlin in the Mac that prevents Eclipse from starting the som. It eventually fixes itself. Meanwhile start the sim from the terminal.

I've only been using the terminal, i dont actually know how to start it with eclipse

There are two ways.

-Under the Connect IQ menu in eclipse, there is "Start Simulator", or when you do a "run" on an app, the app gets compiled, and the sim is then launched to run it if it's not running.

I'm having a similar issue on the same OSX version. It stopped working out of the sudden. When opening the simulator I see it briefly showing up in the apps' bar and immediately disappearing.

The same happened a week or so ago, and after spending a few hours switching SDK versions and installing/uninstalling eclipse/sdk, I got it fixed by running a macOS update. However, this time I only got the BigSur update, which I'm trying to avoid until this issues get fixed.

Looking at the Console, this is the only log I found useful:

Prompting policy for hardened runtime; service: kTCCServiceAppleEvents requires entitlement com.apple.security.automation.apple-events
but it is missing for ACC:{ID: com.garmin.connectiq.simulator, PID[2655], auid: 501, euid: 501, 
binary path: '/Users/???/garmin/Sdks/connectiq-sdk-mac-3.2.3-2020-10-13-c14e609bd/bin/ConnectIQ.app/Contents/MacOS/simulator'}, 
REQ:{ID: com.apple.appleeventsd, PID[1105], auid: 55, euid: 55, binary path: '/System/Library/CoreServices/appleeventsd'}

Running the simulator from the terminal does not change anything for me, same behaviour. Tried running the app with sudo, does not help.

Any other ideas?

8978415 hasnt worked for me ever, pretty high barrier for entry when youre trying to learn something new unfortunately

jim_m_58 if i do a run on the app it says it cannot be launched no recent launches, im sure this is just me not understanding eclipse but i should be able to develop with the cli/text editor(sublime) right? The sim launches just fine from the cli, but monkeydo returns the unable to connect to simulator error
