9. Multiple simulators running in parallel
10. https://github.com/facebook/FBSimulatorControl (Yes, another Facebook project shoutout)
11. $XCODE = /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
12. SimRuntimes - One builtin SimRuntime per platform: /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/profiles/Runtimes $XCODE/Platforms/AppleTVSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/ Profiles/Runtimes/tvOS 9.0.simruntime/ $XCODE/Platforms/WatchSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/ Profiles/Runtimes/watchOS 2.0.simruntime/ $XCODE/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/ Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 9.1.simruntime/ - Additional SimRuntimes:
13. - Install additional SimRuntimes: https://github.com/neonichu/xcode-install/pull/47 xcode-install By jpsim by @neonacho
14. DeviceTypes - Defined by Xcode: $XCODE/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/ Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/DeviceTypes/
15. $ xcrun simctl list - Available DeviceTypes - Available SimRuntimes - Existing devices
16. $ DEVICETYPE=com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.iPhone-6 $ SIMRUNTIME=com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-8-4 $ xcrun simctl create hugephone $DEVICETYPE $SIMRUNTIME CA898799-099C-4DB8-A3D4-FE11A78D9BD1 CREATING A NEW DEVICE
