I am not sure when it comes from exactly, but somewhere along those lines '--exit' support got broken.
I use a hook just like here not to restart the simulator on every run.
It worked great before that PR, now if the sim is already running i get a black screen when running a project.
Will try and take a look at it

@farfromrefug i just tested out the --exit flag. It seems to work fine for me. The expected behavior is that this would launch the app and exit from iossim application , but the simulator would still be up. Please do let us know if you still continue to experience this issue.

@srahim Ok so i got the behavior or --exit, wrong. Actually there is never a point to use this one then as we wouldn't get the log!
So my problem is unrelated to that option. Let me explain. Right now every time you run a project the Ti run.js hook will first kill the simulator then start it again.
I can be long and quite painful, so following the example in the link i gave you, i modified a few month back, the run.js hook to add an option NOT to kill the simulator everytime
You can see my hook here
It worked great until the last modification on the ios-sim and especially (i guess) that PR. Now if the simulator is already running i end up with a black screen.

I should mention now that you helped me that i wrongly use --exit there. I really thought it was to actually kill the app without killing the simulator.

Also i am using XCOde 5.0.2 on Mountain Lion. Did not upgrade yet.

I am really willing to help but i am not sure where to look in the code.
Do you know if there is a part of the code responsible for killing the app process and not the sim process? Or maybe that's just what i should do, kill the app process!

@srahim Ok so after actually answering you i got my answer. I dont why it was working before, but now it got the right way to do it by killing the app process. So no fix needed in ios-sim.
I am sorry for bugging you with you with you.

Yet if you are interested by the "restartSimulator" option, here is the commit related to it
