How to build for iOS iPhoneSimulator using xbuild

Hey,

I am trying to build a xamarin forms project for iPhoneSimulator.
This command works:

xbuild OM-App/OM_App.iOS/OM_App.iOS.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug /p:ArchiveOnBuild=true /t:Build

But the resulting app fails to install on the simulator. The app is located at:

iPhoneSimulator/Debug/OM_App.iOS.app

when I compile via xamarin studio, there is another directory:

bin/iPhoneSimulator/Debug/device-builds/iphone7.2-10.3/OM_App.iOS.app/

And this one does not fail to install.

How can I get it using xbuild?

    I had to add /p:TargetArchitectures:

    xbuild OM-App/OM_App.iOS/OM_App.iOS.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug /p:TargetArchitectures=x86_64 /t:Rebuild
