Old Answer:

If the above doesn't work try removing everything in the Developer folder located at /Library/Developer/. If this still doesn't work try removing everything in ~/Library/Developer/.

I found that doing this last thing solved the issue but it came back when I installed the simulators from xcode's download tab. Removing the .simruntime files finally solved it for me. BTW, I'm using version 7.2.
