Summary:
The introduction of the directories for i.e. `GroupContainers` for the `simctl listapps` command is very useful. Unfortunately, it can only be used with a booted simulator device. This command should work with shutdown simulators, too.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a terminal.
2. Call `xcrun simctl list apps <device>` with <device> being a the UUID of shutdown simulator.

Expected Results:
The call prints a json string for each app of the device.

Actual Results:
The call prints:
`An error was encountered processing the command (domain=com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimError, code=163):
Invalid device state`

Regression:
