iPhone screen not popping up when I click the play button

I am running Xcode 9.4, and when I press play, the blank iPhone screen does not pop up like it does in the video. How can I fix that?

Do you have a device selected? I've never ran into this problem.

Don't know if it will help but you can run simulator manually.

  1. Go to applications folder, ctrl click Xcode and select 'show package contents'
  2. Next go Contents -> Developer -> Applications -> Simulator
  3. At top bar of simulator go to Hardware -> Device and then select your device.

Thanks for your reply Brandon. I did have a device selected but still gave me the error. I then suddenly got an error saying I needed to select a "Team" in order to run the simulator. It gave me an option to select my name as personal team, and then it started to work.
