Summary:
According to various Internet (blog / StackOverflow) postings, it used to be possible to launch an app in iOS Simulator from the command line by supplying the path to the app executable via -SimulateApplication parameter. As of Mavericks / Xcode 5, this no longer appears to work.

Note: it *does* work when pointing to a build-in app (e.g. Safari)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build app targeting iOS Simulator
2. Launch simulator from Terminal, supplying -SimulateApplication parameter like this: /path/to/simulator -SimulateApplication /path/to/MyApp.app/MyApp
3. Observe that simulator launches but the app does not open

However, the same steps, pointed to Safari.app/Safari do result in simulator launching and opening Safari.

Expected Results:
Would expect the simulator to launch my app.

Actual Results:
Simulator does not launch my app.

Version:
OS X Mavericks
Xcode 5.1.1
iOS Simulator Version 7.1 (463.9.41)

Notes:
We are developing a tool aimed at iOS developers, and forcing them to step out of our tool and into Xcode just to launch their app is cumbersome at best. We need a way to launch the app in simulator directly from our tool.

Configuration:
MacBook Air
OS X Mavericks
Xcode 5.1.1
