How to run iPhone emulator WITHOUT starting Xcode?

On my old Mac running Snow Leopard, I could type "ios" into spotlight and it would start up the iPhone/iPad emulator by itself.

I have since had to get a new machine running Lion. I have installed Xcode for Lion, I have installed the developer tool options from the preferences panel.

But the "ios" option is no longer there :( The only way now seems to be to run Xcode, create an empty project and then launch emulator with the run option.

I have searched and searched the internet and the Facebook, but nothing helps.

Does anyone know how to run only the emulator on Lion?

Update: In response to @ike_love thread below. that answer is not assured to work on all Yosemite machines.

The easiest way without fiddling with command line:

1. launch Xcode once.
2. run ios simulator
3. drag the ios simulator icon to dock it.

Next time you want to use it, just click on the ios simulator icon in the dock.
