Running iOS Simulator with Alfred.app

Today I realized that I could start the iOS Simulator (that ships with Xcode) via Alfred! I did this by navigating to the path below in Finder, then dragging-and-dropping the folder into Alfred’s “Search Scope”:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/
Developer/Applications/

Note: You will likely need to right-click Xcode.app and “Show contents” to browse the directories within. 

Alfred’s “Search Scope” settings can be found under Preferences -> Features -> Default Results.
