iOS Simulator keeps asking for an app to simulate

Question

I only use the iOS simulator for testing websites, not actual apps. Today I opened it up and it keeps asking me for an app for it to simulate. If I click cancel, it just quits the simulator.

I've tried deleting preference files, but I'm just not familiar enough with the simulator to know what's going on. How can I just get this back to normal, or satisfy this dialog?

I think you could try the menu

iOS Simulator -> Reset Content and Settings...

This would clean your simulator storage.

Update

According to this link, Cleaning up the iPhone simulator

move to path

/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/{6.0 / 6.1}

You could try to clean it manually

I would if I could get to the menu. As soon as I open the simulator, this dialog pops up. If I click `cancel` then it quits. – Chris Barr May 20 '13 at 00:36
You could try to clean it yourself. Please take a look at my update :) – terry May 20 '13 at 10:12
