It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.57 and verify if the issue still exists.

The ":rewind:Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running react-native info on a project using the latest release.

[Liqiankun]

@react-native-bot Yes, If I update to v0.57, then more issues come! That's why I try to fix this issue on the old version!

[Liqiankun]

Here is the issue after I updated react naitve!

I just started a new project and I am also now experiencing the "Could not find iPad Pro (10.5-inch) simulator" error when trying to launch the 10.5 Inch iPad Pro simulator (and other devices) via react-native run-ios --simulator 'iPad Pro (10.5-inch)' --configuration Debug - a command which worked in RN 0.55 in other projects.

Available simulators (via xcrun simctl list devices):

@Liqiankun have you tried doing what the error says

bundling failed: Error: The 'decorators' plugin requires a 'decoratorsBeforeExport' option, whose value must be a boolean. If you are migrating from Babylon/Babel 6 or want to use the old decorators proposal, you should use the 'decorators-legacy' plugin instead of 'decorators'.

@rsispal probably the string precisely identifying that model is different from the one you wrote, run xcrun simctl list devices to check.

[rsispal]

@kelset EDIT I managed to fix my issue by adding "(12.0)" (for iOS 12) as I have older OS simulators installed too - specifying a simulator now works as follows:

react-native run-ios --simulator 'iPad Pro (10.5-inch) (12.0)' --configuration Debug
react-native run-ios --simulator 'iPad Pro (10.5-inch) (11.0)' --configuration Release

[leotm]

For anywhere else stumbling here like I did, if the above didn't work, https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/21498#issuecomment-476621627 may.

[ialmoqren]

If you faced the Could not find iPhone XXX simulator error, note that some simulators' names have changed

[erhanbicer]

worked for me https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/21498#issuecomment-479896601

[devnasim]

i am just updated react-native latest version "0.58.6"

[ahmadshahrour951]

As @ialmoqren mentioned, the naming convention changed for Xcode simulators.

For example, in my package.json I wrote a script like this: "ios_big": "react-native run-ios --simulator='iPhone Xs Max'",. I now changed it to this: "ios_big": "react-native run-ios --simulator='iPhone XS Max'",

Notice it changed from iPhone Xs Max to iPhone XS Max.

If all fails, run it through Xcode directly at the very top of the GUI.

Pick your iPhone simulator and press the play button.

The simulator error as the following screenshot showed.

@memory125
Try this #23282 (comment)

Thanks, I'll try.

[Liqiankun]

After I downloaded Xcode 11 beta, this issue happened again!

[salmazov]

After I downloaded Xcode 11 beta, this issue happened again!

And I have this issue too. How to solve it?

[d3vhound]

Yep, downloading and using xcode 11 beta breaks react-native run-ios

[dowatugkins]

@rsispal fixed mine, even though I only had one iPad Pro (11-inch) in my device output, adding the OS version at the end fixed mine. 'iPad Pro (11-inch) (12.2)'

[Liqiankun]

I solved this issue this way.

1. npm start
2. Open Xcode, choose simulator and run.

[lukejsimonetti]

'iPad Pro (11-inch) (12.2)'
adding the OS version matters.

[widimiras]

In my problem i just have to kill com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService
see this link

[maitrungduc1410]

'iPad Pro (11-inch) (12.2)'
adding the OS version matters.

You just saved my day

[wanghling]

I have the same problem.
You can do this ,find this file: /node_modules/react-native/local-cli/runIOS/findMatchingSimulator.js then adding
console.log(version) console.log(simulator),
then you change the
if (!version.startsWith('iOS') && !version.startsWith('tvOS')) { continue; } or simulator.available === 'YES'
to the console result. my platform is if (!version.startsWith('com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS') && !version.startsWith('com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS')) { continue; } if (simulator.isAvailable !== true) { continue; } then react-native run-ios
it may be error for ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

react-native upgrade this may need

it works me.
