xcode - Couldn't register with the bootstrap Server

Question

I just changed some code in my program and got this error:

Couldn't register com.yourcompany.XXX with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code.

This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger.Program received signal: “SIGABRT”.

I tried restoring my program to a version that worked, rebooted, restarted, empty caches and rebuild on versions that even worked before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I was able to recover from this by unplugging the iPad, powering it down and back up, clearing all XCode caches and targets, and doing a clean build. I'm running XCode 3.5.4 and iOS 4.2.1 Hope this helps someone. -Mike

UPDATE: Same problem running Xcode 4.3 and iOS5 - just power-cycle the device.
