Comment:

 Your log says the problem was many occurrences of:

 {{{
 :info:build dyld: Library not loaded:
 /Library/Developer/PrivateFrameworks/CoreSimulator.framework/Versions/A/CoreSimulator
 :info:build   Referenced from:
 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/PlugIns/IDEInterfaceBuilderKit.framework/Versions/A/IDEInterfaceBuilderKit
 :info:build   Reason: image not found
 :info:build Command CompileXIB failed with a nonzero exit code
 }}}

 Sounds like a problem in Xcode which you presumably fixed by updating or
 reinstalling Xcode.
