Cli: "iPhone X" simulator is disabled

[Resten1497]

React Native version: 0.60.4

Steps to reproduce

The Xcode is updated version 11 and the "iPhone X" simulator is disabled and cannot be run with an existing "react-native run-ios".

F*ck apple:

Workaround solution awaiting fix (is was no able to find where is the default in the cli source code…) :

• yarn react-native run-ios --simulator "iPhone 11 Pro Max"
• npx react-native run-ios --simulator "iPhone 11 Pro Max"
• react-native run-ios --simulator "iPhone 11 Pro Max"
• ./node_modules/.bin/react-native run-ios --simulator "iPhone 11 Pro Max"

The message I got from @bartolkaruza having this issue:

The problem was that I had the iPhone X sim open _during_ the xcode upgrade. This leaves it in a weird unupgraded state and it becomes unreachable to Xcode or the sim cli.

Have you tried restarting Xcode _and_ Simulator as well?

[satya164]

I just upgraded to Catalina and XCode 11 today and I have only iPhone 11 simulators. I didn't have iPhone X simulator open during the upgrade.

Edit: this was not really an upgrade in traditional sense, I deleted the old XCode and then installed the new version from App Store.

[thymikee]

@satya164 this seems like a bug in Simulator, likely because Catalina is still in beta

[satya164]

@thymikee XCode 11 is stable though

[thymikee]

Hah, this is the list I have, and surprisingly no iPhone X there :D

I guess we'll need to change the logic to:

1. try "iPhone 11"
2. try "iPhone X"
3. try "iPhone 8"
4. bail

What do you think, makes sense?

[wbadam]

Another workaround is to add back the removed iPhone X in Simulator's Hardware > Device > Manage Devices menu

I met the same problem and @wbadam 's workaround works fine to me. 👍
Thank you!

[morikawa77]

I change my package.json to solve this temporarily:

"scripts": {
"android": "react-native run-android",
"ios": "react-native run-ios --simulator=\"iPhone 11 Pro\"",
"start": "react-native start",
"test": "jest",
"lint": "eslint .",
"postinstall": "jetify"
},

Great, it solved the problem
good job
thanks

Where is the default set for "iPhone X" in the source code? anyone knows?

[chakrihacker]

I have downloaded ios 10 and it automatically added iPhone x and other devices

[koke]

iPhone 8 seems to be present in all the simulator runtimes from iOS 11.4 to 13.1, so it seems like the best possible default for now:

$ xcrun simctl list devices

[codler]

This have been fixed by https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/758

[thymikee]

@codler thanks for linking this. It's fixed for RN 0.61. We'll soon release patch versions for older versions, please be patient.

[Adarwall]

@thymikee is there a solution for older versions?

[Adarwall]

never mind, I found the solution.

inside: .../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/build/commands/runIOS
under: var _default = { name: 'run-ios', ...
I changed this:
options: [{ command: '--simulator [string]', description: 'Explicitly set simulator to use. Optionally include iOS version between' + 'parenthesis at the end to match an exact version: "iPhone 6 (10.0)"', default: 'iPhone X' }
to:
options: [{ command: '--simulator [string]', description: 'Explicitly set simulator to use. Optionally include iOS version between' + 'parenthesis at the end to match an exact version: "iPhone 6 (10.0)"', default: 'iPhone 11 Pro' }

[lchenfox]

For me, the solution is:

find node_modules/react-native/local-cli/runIOS/findMatchingSimulator.js，

First, Change

if (!version.startsWith('iOS') && !version.startsWith('tvOS')) {
      continue;
}

into

if (!version.startsWith('com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS') && !version.startsWith('com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS')) {
      continue;
}

Then change

if (
          simulator.availability !== '(available)' &&
          simulator.isAvailable !== 'YES'
   ) {
        continue;
}

into

 if (simulator.availability !== '(available)' && simulator.isAvailable !== true) {
        continue;
 }

It works for me. Good luck!

[thymikee]

@lchenfox you can also update the @react-native-community/cli to the latest version and have this included.

[lchenfox]

Okay. Thanks a lot. I'll have a try @thymikee
