How to show the xcodebuild command line from xcode?

Question

I'm trying to build a working simulator build from xcodebuild. Compilation works but the final product won't run on the simulator when installed via WaxSim. If I build through the Xcode GUI then the final product installs without issue from WaxSim.

My question is, how can I see the exact xcodebuild command line that xcode is using to build a working simulator build. I just need to copy that into my shell script but it's proving elusive. I did a find in the build logs from xcode but there's no mention of xcodebuild there.

You can't. Xcode itself doesn't invoke xcodebuild during the build process. This post has more information on executing xcodebuild to build for the simulator.
