Simulator Times Out

[leifwells]

Created the Cordova HelloWorld app using the method here:
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-Line%20Interface

When I attempt to run:

cordova run ios

the following happens:

Leifs-MacBook-Pro:hello leifwells$ sudo cordova run ios

Hey @leifwells, I'm not familiar with Cordova, just going through the issues to see if there's something similar to what I'm experiencing. Anyway... did you notice the two errors that ios-sim is giving you?

Usage of '--family' is deprecated in 3.x. Use --devicetypeid instead.
Usage of '--retina' is deprecated in 3.x. Use --devicetypeid instead.

It looks like the parameters used to run the command are not up to date. Maybe that could be a good starting point.

@leifwells Try shutting down the iOS Simulator and try again. There might be remnants of the simulator process also (see Activity Monitor)
@mokagio That is just a warning, it shouldn't affect things.

I found this thread on the Ionic forums:

http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/issues-emulating-ios/9772

I haven't had a chance to try the various workarounds but wanted to place this link here in case other people run into this issue.

Try version 4.x
