Apps manually installed in simulator crashes upon load

I'm installing MyApp on the iOS simulator (Xcode 7, iOS 9) using xcrun simctl install booted MyPath/MyApp.app.

This works as expected and the app is installed on the simulator.

However, launching the app either manually or using xcrun simctl launch booted com.company.MyApp fails. Giving back the error:

An error was encountered processing the command (domain=FBSOpenApplicationErrorDomain, code=1): The operation couldn’t be completed. (FBSOpenApplicationErrorDomain error 1.)

The app is exported from Xcode (note that running the app from Xcode or re-building the app from its source code is not a liable solution).

It's not app specific, as any app install in this manner crashes with the same error.

The system log reports the same error, but with some additional information.

The architectures error varies the variable. R, f, etc.

What's the causing this issue? How may I resolve it?

I had the same problem, but using Xamarin. In Visual Studio I solved it by going to the iOS project properties and under "iOS Build" I changed the "Supported architectures" from "i386" to "i386 + x86_64".

Hopefully you can adapt that to XCode.
