Xcode 10 beta 6: simctl uninstall does not uninstall app

Reproduce


# Ensure a clean simulator
$ xcrun simctl shutdown 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30 
$ xcrun simctl erase 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30
$ xcrun simctl get_app_container 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30 com.example.MyApp
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=2):
The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory
No such file or directory

# Boot and install
$ xcrun simctl boot 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30
$ xcrun simctl list devices | grep Booted
    iPhone 8 (1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30) (Booted)
$ xcrun instruments -s device | grep 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30
iPhone 8 (12.0) [1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30] (Simulator)
$ xcrun simctl install 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30 com.example.MyApp
$ xcrun simctl get_app_container 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30 com.example.MyApp
=> 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/<snip>/MyApp.app

# Uninstall
$ xcrun simctl uninstall 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30 com.example.MyApp


Expected


After the uninstall command, I expected `get_app_container` return with "No such file or directory" and for the MyApp.app directory not to exist.


Found


$ xcrun simctl get_app_container 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30 com.example.MyApp
=> 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/<snip>/MyApp.app

$ ls -al <snip>/1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/<snip>/MyApp.app
No such file or directory


The directory does not exist, but `get_app_container` reports the app bundle container still exists.


Repeating the uninstall command does nothing.


Further, trying to install the same app again while the simulator is in this state yield:


$ xcrun simctl install 1702761C-5ED7-44AC-838A-1FCF280F9F30 path/to/MyApp.app
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=IXUserPresentableErrorDomain, code=1):
This app could not be installed at this time.
Failed to load Info.plist from bundle at path

Hi, jmoody
I've faced similar problem. Try to run your tests on simulator 11.4.
