Description

A few days ago I loaded up the XCode Devices menu and deleted a bunch of simulators. I wanted to get rid of old ones and try to get both Cordova and Ionic defaulting to a modern simulator. I didn't delete everything of course, but I did delete a bunch.

Now I am unable to emulate. When I make a vanilla project, add ios (version is 4.3.1) and do cordova emulate ios, i get:

xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:

{ platform:iOS Simulator, OS:latest, name:iPhone 5s }

The requested device could not be found because no available devices matched the request.

Available destinations for the "HelloCordova" scheme:

I can't even target another emulator. If I open the xcodeproj file though I can run it just fine from XCode.

I noticed that /cordova/lib/start-emulator has this:

DEFAULT_TARGET="iPhone 5s"

I don't know why. I tried changing it, just for the heck of it, and I still get the same error.

So... any ideas?
