Running iOS Application on Simulator without Building App

Tags:

I was wondering if it was possible to 'Run' an Xcode Project on the simulator without having it 'Build the Source' first.

When I click the 'Run' button in Xcode 4.0.2, it builds first, then runs it.

Is it possible to run without building? If it's possible, how do you do it?

Edit: This may sound like a strange question, but I have acquired an Xcode project from a third party who is telling me to Run the code without Building it to get it running on the simulator. Not sure how to do that.
