Whenever I try to emulate ios I get the following error below.  
I am currently running the latest version of ionic and ios-sim(3). ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/ionicframework/uploads/default/6712/597b55227ef58691.png)  
Any help will be appreciated.  
Thanks

The emulator is opening?

If not, try the following:

```
ios-sim start # wait until emulator boot
ionic emulate ios # You will receive the same error msg, but the app will run normally.

```

Thanks for replying.  
The emulator now displays as expected 😄 but the iphone frame, home button and app launcher are not visible.  
Though I can use shortcut to access home, are these part of the new update to ios-sim or a bug within cordova?  
Thanks.

I never noticed that (always use the shortcut) !!

But even from xcode my iPhone don’t have frame… 😄
