Cannot run the template app in the simulator (SDK 4.1.7)

That workaround did not work. I have had success building from the command line using a makefile per a commenter in the linked issue.

However, now the app crashes immediately on startup:

Error: Symbol Not Found Error
Details: Failed invoking <symbol>
Stack:
  - setText() at 704b03c0.mb:5112 0x3000469c
  - initialize() at 704b03c0.mb:4956 0x30004309
  - MainLayout() at Rez.mc:20 0x1000029b
  - onLayout() at /Users/1393744/Projects/test/source/testView.mc:12 0x1000003f
Encountered an app crash.

I don't know that this should be considered a duplicate of the issue you linked. In that issue, the user is able to try multiple times until it works, where in my issue it never works. Also, that issue is marked as "Ticket resolved with 4.0.7".
