In my previous article Find app data path for iOS simulator, I mentioned a tool simctl , and in this article I want to share a bash script that I wrote to navigate to the iOS simulator from terminal.
I put the file simpath.sh on my github project, in order to use the tool, we need create to create a ~/simpath.conf file, in this file, we can specify the appid with app bundle, and we can navigate to the app with appid, the following content is a samplesimpath.conf file:gallery=io.flutter.demo.gallery
Then we can navigate to the data dir of app io.flutter.demo.gallery with the following command:simpath.sh gallery
The sample output on my machine is like below:$ simpath.sh gallery
Navigate to gallery with bundle io.flutter.demo.gallery
bash-3.2$ pwd
/Users/Stephen/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/FE3B6CB8-AA93-47B6-874F-8C59CBB563E3/data/Containers/Data/Application/DE181F9E-B480-4D78-944F-E3E6273FA83C
bash-3.2$ ls
Documents Library SystemData tmp
If the simulator does not start, then the output is like below:$ simpath.sh gallery
Navigate to gallery with bundle io.flutter.demo.gallery
No devices are booted.
The full code for the simpath.sh is at github:
If you also an iOS develop, hope this tool can also help you on your daily work:)
