Building an iPhone project results in:

Failed to launch simulated application: SpringBoard failed to launch application with error: 7

And the app doesn't install on the simulator. What's this all about? What's SpringBoard and what is error 7?

I had the exact same problem - I reset the iphone simulator and then quit the simulator (i.e. command q) then started it again.

Worked.

On the iPhone there is no concept of quitting an app. The only action that should cause an app to quit is touching the Home button on the phone, and that's not something developers have access to.

According to Apple, your app should not terminate on its own. Since the user did not hit the Home button, any return to the Home screen gives the user the impression that your app crashed. This is confusing, non-standard behavior and should be avoided.

IPhone simulator fails

You need to remove the folder as sudo ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator

sudo rm -Rfv ~/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator

It looks like previous versions of the SDK have some kind of permission trouble.
