I have built an app installer for iOS simulators that places the .app file in a local directory that is symlinked into all iOS 8 simulator device paths where the apps live (~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/<Device ID>/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/). This works great except for iOS 8.3 simulators.
It looks like iOS 8.3 simulators do not respect the symlink. If I move the .app file into a regular directory inside the 8.3 simulator, the app shows up fine.
Any ideas why this is the case?
