Problem:
At some point I noticed my iOS app with an iOS Share Extension can't launch on iOS simulator.
The main error message was this:
Your target is built for iOS but contains embedded content built for the iOS platform (...-share.appex), which is not allowed

- In XCode, Build Phase: moving the "Embed Foundation Extensions" build phase to above "Run Script" solved the issue. – Varinder Singh iPhone Dev Commented Feb 17 at 7:31

Reset to default 0Solution:
I went to my main app target settings (not Share Extension's target settings) -> Info tab -> Removed CFBundleSupportedPlatforms key.
