[xcode] How to run iPhone emulator WITHOUT starting Xcode?

The solutions above didn't work for me in ZSH. I needed to escape the dot in the iPhoneSimulator.platform. This works for me:

alias simulator="open /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/iOS\ Simulator.app"

This could be even more resilient version:

alias simulator="open -a 'iOS Simulator'"
