Photos app in ios 7.1 simulator not working

Question

i clean installed os x Yosemite yesterday and installed xcode 6. but unfortunately my old project require ios 7.1 so i delete xcode 6 and installed xcode 5.1.1. everything seems to be working fine but when i click on Photos app in simulator, it stuck on white screen as screen shows first when lunching app. I tried to reset content & setting but no luck. then i uninstall xcode completely including ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode, ~/Library/Developer, ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator directory and files manually and reinstalled xcode 5.1.1 but problem with Photos app not solved. So please help me to solve this problem. do i missed something?, do i have to completely erase and reinstall mac to get working again or there is a compatibility problem in Yosemite with xcode 5.1.1. Also i know that i can install 7.1 simulator in xcode 6 but it will require some extra changes in my code as xcode 6. ios 8 simulator in xcode 6 has no problem like this. (sorry i am new here and i can't attach screenshot because don't have 10 points)

Answer 1

Another, easier method (especially if you don't have the file elsewhere), is that you can also just create a blank file called Photos.sqlite and place it in ▸ Users ▸ [username] ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ iPhone Simulator ▸ 7.1 ▸ Media ▸ PhotoData

(eg: run this from the terminal:) touch "/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.1/Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite"

That worked for me.

Answer 2

Problem solved. I open the log by Debug->Open system log and investigate the problem and came to know that the file 'Photos.sqlite' was not found. I manually copied that file from another mac to '▸ Users ▸ [username] ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ iPhone Simulator ▸ 7.1 ▸ Media ▸ PhotoData'. After that Photos app working properly. Hope this will help someone.
