iOS Simulator stores apps in ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.2/Applications/APP_UUID/

But how do I find the APP_UUID for a specific Project/Target?

Go to 

~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/

and type 

find . -iname "*.app"

in a shell.

The easiest way I've found is to run the app in the simulator and NSLog the result of a standard path-locating function, like this one:

- (NSString *)applicationDocumentsDirectory {
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, 
                                                         NSUserDomainMask, 
                                                         YES);
    NSString *basePath = ([paths count] > 0) ? [paths objectAtIndex:0] : nil;
    return basePath;
}

// elsewhere, like in -application:didFinishLaunching:withOptions:
NSLog(@"app doc directory: %@", [self applicationDocumentsDirectory]);

Here is what you need: 

xcrun simctl get_app_container booted com.bundle.identifier

just change com.bundle.identifier to your app bundle identifier

Instead of having to remember these commands, a very simple and straightforward way is to simply:

  1. open top (or any activity manager)
  2. search for your application name

The location where your app is stored will be there
