Xcode 6 - Launch simulator from command line

Question

I want to launch iPhone simulator from command line.

until now I have been using the below command

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Answer 1

With Xcode 6, if you want to have the iOS Simulator.app boot a specific device when it launches, you can run this from the command line:

open -a "iOS Simulator" --args -CurrentDeviceUDID

where you can figure out the UDID of the device you want to boot from:

xcrun simctl list

With Xcode 7, the application was renamed Simulator.app, so you should update the above accordingly to:

open -a Simulator --args -CurrentDeviceUDID
