Sidir

iOS Simulator directory explorer. This gem is a personal tool intended to make it slightly easier to navigate/manage the iOS Applications directory

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install sidir

sidir is a quick, dirty experiment that attempts to use commands with similar semantics to those in common shells to add contextual navigation of the iOS sims directories. The main reason for sidir is because Applications are stored under unique hashes in the Applications directory, which makes this a pain to navigate in finder, especially if you have lots of apps installed in your simulators.

Start at your terminal with

sidir

At which point you'll get a simple prompt

sidir / >

Use help to print available commands

sidir / > help
      cd <item> - change to directory at <item>
      ls        - list available simulators
      show      - open Finder here
      exit      - exit sidir

Once you have cd'd into the context of a simulator you'll have more options available

sidir /5.1 > help
      cd    <item> - open finder at <item>
      cd    ..     - move back to simulators
      ls           - list available applications
      show         - open Finder here
      rm    <item> - delete the application <item> and all associated data 
      reset <item> - clean all paths in <item> as if the app is freshly installed
      exit         - exit sidir

An example session might look something like (horizontal space added for clarity)

sidir

sidir / > ls
4.3.2
5.0
5.1

sidir / > cd 5.1

sidir /5.1 > ls

##Todo

• Currently the app it's hard coded to load at

    ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/
  

this obviously is less than ideal

• No tests - this was literally just an experiment
• No docs - see above
