Description

Xcode 6 includes a new application "simctl" that may prove to a better way to launch applications in Xcode 6+. Here's a reference to using it in PhoneGap: https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim/issues/92 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7519 Another reference where an Apple engineer has jumped in: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26269898/ios-sim-command-and-xcode-6-0-not-able-to-start-ios8-devices

    Simctl can be used to install and run applications on a simulator. This is a nodeJs file that can perform these things. In addition it also launches the simulator and outputs the logs. To open the simulator, install and run an application the following command can be used 
       node simctl launch ../test/TestApp/build/Debug-iphonesimulator/TestApp.app --verbose --udid 5F4D7F55-9F05-4AE3-9B82-4C3E65127E60
    To view all the device simulators you can use 
       node simctl showallsimulators

    PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/ioslib/pull/10 Uses simctl.js when Xcode6 is detected.

    This appears to have been resolved back in ioslib@1.1.0 over 3 years ago.
