I have made an iOS application in Xcode and built it. It has created an .app bundle. I am able to launch the app in Simulator or on the device successfully from Xcode or iTunes, but now I want to launch it in Simulator through AppleScript from Terminal.
I am able to build the app from Terminal, but unable to launch it in Simulator. Somehow I found out that an .ipa file is needed to run the app from Terminal.
Is there a way to launch an iOS app I built in Simulator from Terminal?
I found an .ipa file that I wanted using iTunes and copied it over to my desktop. After that I changed the extension to .zip and extracted it. Next I found the Payload folder and moved the application inside to my desktop. Finally I moved that application to my iPhone simulators applications folder found at: "Your disk name">Developer>Platforms>iPhoneSimulator.platform>Developer>SDKs> iPhoneSimulator4.3.sdk>Applications
Hope this helps! (Note: Some apps crash more often than others.)
