Summary:
When testing different localizations in the simulator, sometimes I forget to first Stop the debug session in Xcode and change the language in the Simulator directly. Then in a lot of cases, the app continues to run as a zombie process ("ps" displays it in parantheses) and there's no way to start a new debug session. I have to reboot the machine to fix this.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Start a debug session on the Simulator in Xcode.
- Switch the system language in the Simulator
Expected Results:
- The app should be terminated/killed
Actual Results:
- The app continues to run as a zombie process that can't be killed, even with a SIGKILL.
