What type of your devices simulator or real devices, and type of your app as well: .app or .ipa?
If you have real devices, you should run with .ipa file.
If you have simulators, you should run with .app file.

santhosh.saven · August 18, 2020, 4:43am

Hi Duyluong,

Thanks for quick response.

Device : iPhone 6 pro (simulator)
App type : .ipa

duyluong · August 18, 2020, 5:10am

Hi @santhosh.saven,

Simulators can only run with the .app file. You should ask your dev team to provide the .app build.

santhosh.saven · August 18, 2020, 8:46am

Hi @duyluong,

Same issue with .app build also

nate321 · August 25, 2020, 12:12pm

@duyluong @santhosh.saven Hi, I have the same issue: “Simulator architecture is unsupported …”

and it doesn’t work on both .ipa and .app file. Have you found a way to resolve this issue? Is this related to the versions of Katalon, simulatos OS and Xcode?

I’m using Katalon 7.6.2
Xcode 11.6
Simulator iOS 13.6

Thanks in advance

santhosh.saven · August 26, 2020, 12:12pm

Hi nate,
Unfortunately, didn’t get anything till now. I think this issue from katalon studio.

gopabandhu.patr · January 13, 2021, 8:34am

Any solution to this. I also get same error…

nuratiqah.norazlan · January 13, 2021, 8:42am

Hi, I’m also getting the same error for both .ipa and .app file.

As for your reference, I’m using:
Katalon Studio 7.8.1
iOS Simulator 14.3
Xcode 12.3
Mac OS Big Sur 11.1
Appium 1.20.0-beta.0
Carthage 0.36.0
iOS-deploy 1.11.3

Here I attached the screenshot for your reference

Hope anyone can assist me on this. Thank you in advance!

Jeff_Feldman · January 13, 2021, 5:05pm

Hi, is this restriction specific to Katalon or XCUI? My dev team only creates .ipa files so wanted to get some more info on this to work with my dev team.

byounuss · January 27, 2021, 10:56am

@Jeff_Feldman Dev team will create only .ipa but you can get .app from Derived Data like /User/YOURUSER/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/YOURAPP-emojzslcekzykiguniabvuzngvhr/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/YOURAPP.app

Even I was getting similar issue resolved by fallowing steps

go to /User/YOURUSER/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
cd Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
remove all the files in this directory
rm -rf *
build app from Xcode
Now you can see the latest files in /User/YOURUSER/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/

got to simulator Directory

cd /User/YOURUSER/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/YOURAPP-emojzslcekzykiguniabvuzngvhr/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/YOURAPP.app

cp YOURAPP.app ~/Desktop/. (or where ever you need )

Rattanaporn_Yawong · December 6, 2021, 8:22am

How can I solve this problem?

pandyapandi · April 3, 2022, 2:51pm

hello, please try this step

build and run your project into the same simulator type on katalon app (xcode = iphone 11: katalon = iphone 11)
go to
~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/[Simulator identifier on xcode tab window (device and simulator)/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/[Bundle from xcode]/your app name.app
try the .app to your katalon app for record/spy feature
