`react-native run-ios` returns Error: Could not find iPhone X simulator

Solution 1

Edited: I copied your devices section of your output JSON and embedded to my own /node_modules/react-native/local-cli/runIOS/runIOS.js 

function runOnSimulator(xcodeProject, args, scheme) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
    try {
        var simulators = {devices section of your json}; //Here
    } catch (e) {
        console.log("e", e);
        throw new Error('Could not parse the simulator list output');
    }

    const selectedSimulator = findMatchingSimulator(simulators, args.simulator);
    console.log("selected", selectedSimulator);
    if (!selectedSimulator) {
        throw new Error(`Could not find ${args.simulator} simulator`);
    }
    ...

And finally, it gave the same error as yours. So I figured out that parsing version of devices different. In your devices, version is;

"com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS-12-1" //for tvOS
"com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-12-1" // for iOS

but in react-native checks this version values like this(/node_modules/react-native/local-cli/runIOS/findMatchingSimulator.js);

// Making sure the version of the simulator is an iOS or tvOS (Removes Apple Watch, etc)
if (!version.startsWith('iOS') && !version.startsWith('tvOS')) {
    continue;
}

So react-native can not recognize.
If we change this code with this;

// Making sure the version of the simulator is an iOS or tvOS (Removes Apple Watch, etc)
if (!version.startsWith('com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS') && !version.startsWith('com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS')) {
    continue;
}

the problem was solved. I checked that with your JSON data in my computer and it worked.

Solution 2

To fix this error, simply reinstall project & node modules using npm

npm install

Then it will show a list of warnings, and to fix them use the following command:

npm audit fix

This should fix everything, and allow you to run iOS emulator react-native run-ios

Solution 3

PROBLEM

If you try this with the latest Xcode (11), there is no iPhone X!

Run Simulator by itself, in the top menu, look under Hardware, Device, iOS 13.0. You will see there is:

  • iPhone 8
  • iPhone 8 Plus
  • iPhone XS
  • iPhone XS Max
  • iPhone XR
  • ... and some iPads

When you execute run-ios, react-native is designed to match a requested device.

The internally hard coded default is iPhone X.

The function that tries to match the requested device is in:

/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/build/commands/runIOS/findMatchingSimulator.js

This function is designed so you can give it a device, and an optional version number.

If the given device and version cannot be found, it will return a match using the first device in the list by default.

But... in reality, the first device is a watch, and any watch is excluded from matching, so this function will return null.

SOLUTION 1 - Use an existing Xcode device

Run Simulator first by itself, as described above, and make a note of which iPhone or iPad you want.

Then pass this name as an optional argument the the run-ios command line command as follows:

react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 8"

SOLUTION 2 - Add New Xcode iOS Device

According to Xcode 11 Release Notes:

"Xcode no longer creates every available iOS simulator device by default. Instead a set of the most commonly used devices are created. To create other devices — or multiple instances of a device — open the Devices window, select Simulators, click the + button, enter a name, and select the relevant device type and OS version. In Terminal, execute the xcrun simctl create command, for example xcrun simctl create "My iPhone 7" "iPhone 7" iOS13.0. (49428617)"

In Xcode, you need to add a new device called "iPhone X".

Also I answered here: React Native Issue #2328

Solution 4

Temporary fix:

Step 1: Open the file /node_modules/react-native/local-cli/runIOS/findMatchingSimulator.js

Step 2: Change a line of code, from this:

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

to this:

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

Step 3: Run react-native run-ios (you might need to run it twice, and don't forget to kill the Metro Bundler [the console that's running in the background] if it's running from your previous unsuccessful build!)

The problem was that after an update to Xcode - the simulator namespaces were added to the devices' versions list. The React Native build wasn't expecting these namespaces - hence the build break.

Solution 5

after update to Xcode 11 xcrun returns true or false and not YES or NO as before.

goto /node_modules/react-native/local-cli/runIOS/findMatchingSimulator.js and in

find

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

and change it to 

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

    whenever I run react-native run-ios, I get 

    Could not find iPhone X simulator

    however, when I run on Xcode, it works fine

    In case anyone was running iPhone XR specifically (ie. react-native run-ios --simulator='iPhone XR'), use the following, react-native run-ios --simulator='iPhone Xʀ'. Using a lowercase r will not work.

    imho this should be the right answer. Changing node_modules files should not be a valid answer. It will come back to bite you when you trash node_modules folder for any reason.

    iOS 13.0 simulators now doesn't include every available devices except for the most used one, you need to manually create them if you want other devices (e.g iPhone 7, iPhone X). Reference is here: developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/…

    Definitely the way to go. Ran into 2 small issues tho: 1- Had to pair my new "iPhone X" simulator with an iOS 12.4 runtime 2- Had to replace simulator.isAvailable !== 'YES' with simulator.isAvailable !== true in node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/build/commands/runI‌​OS/findMatchingSimul‌​ator.js
  • cokron
    cokron over 4 years
    too bad. Same thing here. In earlier versions of XCode, I had to change the version.startsWith to version.includes, which has been fixed. Now, a couple of lines further down, change 'YES' to true… A never ending story 😊

    @MixMasterMike you can run any installed simulator with that command react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone SE". For example that command will run iPhone SE simulator, which is installed on Xcode.
