iOS-SImulator.app not found despite correct search scope

[felixbuenemann]

I've added the directory /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/ to the search scope. But still the iOS-Simulator.app in that folder is not found, if I search alfred for "ios".

 

I'm using Alfred 2.0.1b173.

Apple is doing funny things with the iOS simulator... with some releases of Xcode it's indexed, some it's not. I suggest you create a keyword -> launch app workflow to launch this app

I just copied:

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

to

/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app

 

or try doing a link (hard, soft, sym link etc...)

If you update to the 2.0.2 pre-release in Alfred's general prefs, this should now work

@Andrew

I upgraded to v2.0.2 (178)

added search scope:

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

 

I copied 'IOS Simulator.app' to /Applications/ to test.

 

when i 'afred' 'iphone' i get returned:

IOS Simulator

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

&

iPhone Simulator.app

/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app

 

when i 'alfred' 'ios' i get:

IOS Simulator

/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app

 

So my question is when alfred searches, does it search ny the actual app name as we see it, or by the 'Bundle name' in the apps info.plist (which happens to be 'iPhone Simulator')?

In relation to this 'IOS Simulator', I would love to have a workflow that opens a web url or file.html in Safari (with IOS Simulator).

Would be great for web developers to test files quickly with Alfred.

@Andrew: Nope, iOS-Simulator.app is still not showing up in Alfred (2.0.2b176).
