Unable to install and run iOS app on Simulator from command line - Simulator of iOS 6.1 Xcode 5 on mavericks

Question

I've tried various methods and scripts to launch my iOS compiled app via commandline but unable to do so, help will be appreciated.

I tried the following:

1. This command line:

   ./Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhone\ Simulator -SimulateApplication App.app/App
   

2. This shell script

Attempted on:

• Simulator app v7.0
• iOS 6.1
• Mac OSX Mavericks

No luck :/

You could use ios-sim (can be installed via Homebrew brew install ios-sim):

ios-sim launch <application path>
