I'm having problems with the iPhone Simulator running an out of date version of my app binary with iOS 4, since it seems Xcode is not killing the process completely, hence the debugger is picking up the app process from the previous build/debug cycle, even if I click the "Kill" button on the toolbar.

Does anyone know a way of forcing the simulator to stop and reload the newly compiled version of a binary, other than i) quitting the simulator ii) completely resetting the simulator? Both of these work arounds are inconvenient and slow down code/build/debug cycles.

A: 

I'm not sure why you are experiencing the problem, but if you want to delete an app from the simulator click and hold on the app to get the delete to come up. If you can terminate an app in the back ground by double clicking the home button and then clicking and holding on an app. Sorry if none of that is what you're looking for.

Hi Scott, Thanks for the reply. Strange thing is, I never had a problem before iOS4, but I can't quite believe Apple would overlook this problem. I felt sure I must be missing something obvious?

I filed a bug about this (rdar://8247461) and it was marked as a duplicate of rdar://8060328 - this is driving me crazy - I hope it gets fixed soon.
