Outline
We always use below command on RN(react native) development.
npm run ios
It’s not a problem when we develop but when we want to test RN(react native) project on the different device. It always uncomfortable. So I’ll introduce how to change the simulator by command line.
Check iOS simulators
check current iOS simulator we can use.
xcrun simctl list devices
After executing, you can see the list of the simulator like below.
