经过：

Create a Simulator Build

安装npm, ios-sim

在第三步Verify Build时

打开ios-sim源码

在lib.js中找到launch方法

可以看出是在执行bplist.parseFile 抛出的异常

那么bplist是个啥

这个过程中又出现

npm WARN ENOENT ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/skitlyworkspace-guizuthqghijhafekfpzbmielulk/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/package.json'

npm WARN EPACKAGEJSON /Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/skitlyworkspace-guizuthqghijhafekfpzbmielulk/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator No license field.

解决办法：sudo npm install -g bplist

再次执行：ios-sim launch skitly.app --devicetypeid iPhone-5s, 9.1，问题依旧存在Invalid binary plist. Expected 'bplist' at offset 0.

打开bplist源码

找到异常抛出的代码

解析时没有bplist，但是plist文件是存在的，打开Info.plist:

依旧是xml格式，应该转为binary格式才行

Convert Property List (plist) Between Binary and XML Formats

执行plutil -convert binary1 Info.plist

打开Info.plist:

结果：

执行ios-sim launch skitly.app --devicetypeid iPhone-5s, 9.1 成功的在模拟器中运行
