I installed XCode 4.3 from the app store, now I can't run iOS Simulator without launching XCode

I routinely need to run the iOS simulator, and I prefer to run it from Spotlight.

When I installed XCode 4.3 from the mac app store, it prompted me to remove the /Developer folder, which I accepted. Now Spotlight doesn't list the iOS Simulator app in the results so I assume it was deleted with /Developer....

How do I run the iOS simulator now? Thanks!

I'm not sure Spotlight will ever find it again, it's now embedded inside Xcode.app:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iPhone\ Simulator.app/

I launched it once via Xcode and then opted to keep it in the dock. Alternatively I guess you could try copying / symlinking it into the /Applications directory and see if spotlight picks it up.
