Can't Connect to Pebble Emulator

Question

while I was trying to test my app on Pebble Emulator using Pebble SDK 3.0, I met a connection problem. The Emulator is working normally, but my host machine can't connect to QEMU virtual machine. So, the app wasn't fired up. See followings:

> pebble build
> pebble --debug install --emulator aplite
[INFO    ] Starting phone simulator...
[ERROR   ] Could not connect to phone at localhost:12342. Ensure that 'Developer Connection' is enabled in the Pebble app.

I don't know how to do further debugging on this issue.

> brew remove boost-python
> brew install boost-python --build-from-source

This fixed things for me.
