Erase or delete and restore existing simulators

[ZevEisenberg]

I usually work with a subset of the normal simulators, or maybe with, e.g., several sizes of iPhones running iOS 8.4 and 9.2. I sometimes want to blow away the contents of my simulators, but I don't want to have to re-delete the ones I don't want, and recreate the nonstandard ones I do want. What I'd like is a way to programmatically choose Simulator → Reset Content and Settings… for each simulator that is currently enabled.

Here's how I currently do it:

function resetAllSimulators () {
    osascript -e 'tell application "iOS Simulator" to quit'
    osascript -e 'tell application "Simulator" to quit'
    xcrun simctl list devices | grep -v '^[-=]' | cut -d "(" -f2 | cut -d ")" -f1 | xargs -I {} xcrun simctl erase "{}"
}

But it seems like it would make perfect sense for this to be built into snapshot.

Thanks to @DimaVartanian, I found out that you can just use xcrun simctl erase all. You'll probably want to quit the simulator first, so the osascript above may be useful, but this probably doesn't need to be in snapshot. Feel free to reopen if you think otherwise.
