Hi @santhosh.saven, Simulators can only run with the .app file. You should ask your dev team to provide the .app build. ---

@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 ---

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 ![ios simulator error](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/d/dfeb40760c8ac7319c8be1896a1c791a5d7342e8.jpeg) Hope anyone can assist me on this.

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. ---

@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/.

hello, please try this step 1. build and run your project into the same simulator type on katalon app (xcode = iphone 11: katalon = iphone 11) 2. 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 3. try the .app to your katalon app for record/spy feature
