Detox: Incorrect OS version of specified iPhone simulator name

Created on 30 Dec 2018 · 8Comments · Source: wix/Detox

https://github.com/wix/Detox/blob/45c895aa6abb02823f325f0b274ac63e12b05760/detox/src/devices/ios/AppleSimUtils.js#L38

E.G;

delete iPhone 8 iOS 12.1 simulators
pass only device name; iPhone 8

When other devices have 12.1 simulators installed for them, 12.1 will be picked even though device won't match;

 Error: Can't find a simulator to match with "iPhone 8", run 'xcrun simctl list' to list your supported devices.
      It is advised to only state a device type, and not to state iOS version, e.g. "iPhone 7"

For anyone coming through this through searching for the error message, you might want to upgrade you applesimutils to at least version 0.7.0 using:

brew upgrade applesimutils

My issue was that I was on version 0.6.3, which was not able to return a list of any simulators. You can test this by running the command:

applesimutils --list

If you get an empty array, you might fix it by upgrading :+1:

The logic should be fixed to search the latest available OS for the specified simulator name, not latest available OS version in general.

Affecting me as well. @Wo1v3r what was your workaround?

Having other issues now, but updating to latest version of detox@^12.1.1 fixed this.

I have the same problem. I also tried upgrading applesimutils but the problem remains.
