get_sim_app_path_name_ws

Retrieve the app bundle path for a named simulator by providing workspacePath, scheme, platform, and simulatorName. Essential for XcodeBuildMCP server workflows targeting specific iOS, watchOS, tvOS, or visionOS simulators.

Instructions

Gets the app bundle path for a simulator by name using a workspace. IMPORTANT: Requires workspacePath, scheme, platform, and simulatorName. Example: get_sim_app_path_name_ws({ workspacePath: '/path/to/workspace', scheme: 'MyScheme', platform: 'iOS Simulator', simulatorName: 'iPhone 16' })
