Applescript is starting Xcode instead of the iPhone Simulator

Question

Hi,
When I use applescript to start the iPhone Simulator (using the following command), it's starting Xcode instead of the iPhone Simulator.
osascript -e "tell application \"iPhone Simulator\" to activate"
The command osascript -e 'id of app "iPhone Simulator"' return the value "com.apple.dt.Xcode".
So the program name "iPhone Simulator" has a reference to the wrong application. Is there a file on the system that links the name of the program to actual App?
Thanks in advance,
Robbert

If you want to use applescript to launch the iOS simulator this script should work, but your Xcode project needs to be open first.
tell application "Xcode"
     tell project "test"
          activate
     end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
     tell process "Xcode"
          click menu item "Run Without Building" of menu 1 of menu item "Perform Action" of menu "Product" of menu bar item "Product" of menu bar 1
                end tell
end tell
