I cannot launch the simulator successfully. Once I launch the IOS Simulator this error appears:

"Unable to boot the IOS Simulator."

Following the IOS Simulator error, I then get an error from Xcode reading:

Unable to run app in Simulator
An error was encountered while running (Domain = DTiPhoneSimulatorErrorDomain, Code = 2)

Screenshot for error

UPDATE:

This might sound silly but I went to Xcode/preference/Downloads with intentions of seeing a IOS 8.0 Simulator but there was none. Could this be the problem? Am I suppose to have a IOS 8.0 Simulator? If so can someone direct me how to get it? Also, under the "Downloads" tab in Xcode preference I do see IOS 7.0 and 7.1 Simulators and both work fine with Xcode 5.
