When I run Tools/Scripts/run-safari --ios-simulator --debug, I get an error message: Can't locate object method "dictionaryWithContentsOfFile_" via package "NSDictionary" (perhaps you forgot to load "NSDictionary"?) at /Users/jdarpinian/src/WebKit2/Tools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm line 1527. When I run Tools/Scripts/run-minibrowser --ios-simulator --debug, I don't get an error message, but it doesn't work either. The script runs for about 3 seconds and then exits without printing anything, and the iOS simulator does not start.

I'm guessing that you have a custom Perl installed via some package manager. What does "which perl" say in Terminal? Does this work when just run with perl in command line? sub f { eval "require Foundation"; print Foundation::perlRefFromObjectRef(NSDictionary->dictionaryWithContentsOfFile_("/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info.plist")); } f()

This code was removed in bug 211008, so this particular problem can't happen any more. Still, scripts are not guaranteed to work if you have a custom version of Perl or Python installed.
