Want to use "xcrun simctl" in Appium automation

Question

Is there a way I can use xcrun simctl commands in my Appium automation? I have came to situation where I wanted to use uninstall and install app from simulator which is not available with appium methods. So, I am thinking if somehow I could use this utility in automation code.

I am running my automation on iOS in Java.

public class XCRunUtil {

ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder();

Process process;

public void execute(String url) {
    String link = "xcrun simctl list devices";
    System.out.println("link : " + link);
    processBuilder.command("sh", "-c", link);
    try {
        process = processBuilder.start();

        BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
        BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));

        System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
        String s = null;
        while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }
        // Read any errors from the attempted command
        System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
        while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

}

This above code will works
