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.
