You mention in the summary that you are using Xcode 7.3b3, however I see a CoreSimulatorService error in the log, which is usually indicative of running Xcode 7.2, and the solution is to upgrade to 7.2.1. See ProblemHotlist#xcode7.2. If you really are using Xcode 7.3b3, try the manual permissions fix described on that page.

Once you fix that, MacPorts_Framework and Pallet will still fail to build with Xcode 5 or later for the reasons described in other open tickets.

Looks like we were mistaken and the fix is not in 7.2.1, but will be in 7.3. I don't know in which beta, if any, the fix will appear first.

Closing because the CoreSimulator problem is an Xcode 7.2.x bug, not a MacPorts bug.
