Run .app file in iOS 8 simulator

Question

I have a .app file shared from a developer which i would like to run in iOS 8 simulator. I have seen similar questions which has solutions for older versions of iOS which is no

Answer 1

Boot the simulator you want to install it to in the iOS Simulator and then do the following:

xcrun simctl install booted /path/to/Your.app
xcrun simctl launch booted com.yourcompany.yourapp

The "booted" token was not supported on older versions of simctl in Xcode 6.0. If you get an error, please use the full device UDID instead of "booted". You can determine the UDID by running xcrun simctl list
