I have an app that worked fine in the released version of Xcode. I downloaded the beta and after I fixed all the little changes I ran it and it worked. I just came back and ran it again and I get an error saying
The request to open "com.matthewhsingleton.Smoke" failed . (null) was unable to service the request.
I have quit Xcode and reopened it, I have restarted my computer, tried different iPhone simulators and all produce the same resulte
My error was similar, instead of "(null)", the message was: "SpringBoard was unable to service the request"
Restarting the simulator worked for me.
After reading @Droppy suggestion I read the thread and it is a common issue. To solve it is as follows
Problem solved for by an Apple Engineer in the lab. It's an issue they're working on. The bottom line was that when I copied Xcode to Applications folder, there was a bit set on it and that was preventing it from communicating with the simulator.
To fix it:
Copy-paste Xcode-beta.app from Applications folder to somewhere else, e.g. Documents folder.
Delete Xcode-beta.app from Applications folder.
Move Xcode-beta.app from Documents to Applications folder again.

I had 2 versions of Xcode installed. Xcode 7 and 8. I resolved this issue by setting the command line tools to Xcode 8 in preferences. Open preferences -> Locations -> Command Line tools. Set that to Xcode 8.
