is there a command in terminal can build and install the iphone app in simulator without launching from xcode

Question

as title, is there any terminal command can use to achieve this? i know xcodebuild install -configuration can compile our xcodeproj from terminal without lauching from xcode however the compilation files are under iphoneos but not in the iphone simulator, I'm hoping one of you smart-folk can help me out

Answer 1

Hey, i found out that you can do it with:

xcodebuild -configuration Release -sdk iphonesimulator2.2

This makes a simulator build with version 2.2 ( you can use xcodebuild -showsdks to list what u have avail ). I'm stuck with a problem of trying to get it to launch on the phone. xcodebuild -install doesn't seem to do anything for me :S Any assistance?

Answer 2

Please see the following github project (search for iphonesim)

This will allow you to launch the iphone simulator from the command line.

(Sorry, it won't seem to let me post a valid URL in this answer)

Answer 3

Anyone know how to force the build to install the app onto the connected hardware (similiar to the build and go command in GUI xcode?)
