iphone - Can I install an app to the simulator without the source code?

Question

I have a client who wants to just drag and drop the binary to run it in the simulator.

I want to build the simulator app and email it to them.

What can the client do to install this in the simulator?

Is this possible?

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

You can, by executing the command below in the Terminal app.

xcrun simctl install {simulator_udid} {path of .app file}

It will install the .app file in the referenced simulator.

Note: Make sure that the .app file is built for the simulator (i.e. i386 or x86_64).
