open iOS iPad simulator with React Native - ios

When testing a React Native app with react-native run-ios it opens an iPhone simulator.
You can change the virtual device to an iPad in the Simulator options, but the React Native app does not appear in the list of installed apps.
Is there a way to open an iPad simulator from the CLI?

--simulator flag is what you are looking for
For example react-native run-ios --simulator 'iPad 2' will run the app on iPad 2 simulator.
As a side node, if you need to get list of available simulators with their names use xcrun simctl list devices

Get device list with this command
xcrun simctl list devices

No virtual devices found - Ionic Cordova Emulate iOS

I am trying to emulate my Ionic app in iOS but when I run ionic cordova emulate ios I get an error:
No target specified for emulator. Deploying to undefined simulator
Device type "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.undefined" could not be found.
It seems that even though there are emulators available on my OSX, Ionic can't access them for some reason. Why are there no devices found in Ionic when there are clearly devices that can be run elsewhere? Could this be an issue with env vars?
For reference: ionic info:

There are lots of bits of code here because it requires output logs.
Or you could just try something like this :
cd platforms/ios/cordova
npm install ios-sim#latest
If this problem again persist after updating to Mojave then remove and add platform will not going to work.
Instead you can try invoking simulator directly using following command
ionic cordova emulate ios --livereload --consolelogs --target="iPhone-6,com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-12-2"
Also, if you are using older build system, you can add additional flag like below
ionic cordova emulate ios --livereload --consolelogs --target="iPhone-6,com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-12-2" --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
As of Ionic v5.4.1 and ios-sim#latest (8.0.2), none of the other answers worked for me. What ended up working was running the list command to find the device's UUID then specifying it as the target:
ionic cordova emulate --list
ionic cordova emulate ios -l -c --target="<UUID>"
Had to remove ios platform and add it
ionic cordova platform remove ios
ionic cordova platform add ios

iOS 9.3 final build number

iOS 9.3 was released on march 21, 2016, and according to its download page, this version has two build numbers associated :
Builds
13E233
13E234
I don't remember of any previous iOS version with multiple builds numbers, so it raised some questions :
First, why is there two build numbers ? The builds were made successively according to the difference between them, so maybe there are one iPhone and one iPad build.
What is the difference between these builds ?
How can I detect which build i'm using ?

How to determine device type from `instruments -s devices`

By running instruments -s devices, you get a list of connected devices as well as virtual simulator devices:
Known Devices:
your.mac [uuid]
Physical Device 1 (9.1) [uuid] <--- unknown device type
Physical Device 2 (9.0) [uuid] <--- unknown device type
Apple TV 1080p (9.0) [uuid]
Apple Watch - 38mm (2.0) [uuid]
Apple Watch - 38mm (2.0) [uuid]
Apple Watch - 42mm (2.0) [uuid]
Apple Watch - 42mm (2.0) [uuid]
iPad 2 (9.1) [uuid]
iPad Air (9.1) [uuid]
iPad Air 2 (9.1) [uuid]
iPad Pro (9.1) [uuid]
iPad Retina (9.1) [uuid]
iPhone 4s (9.1) [uuid]
iPhone 5 (9.1) [uuid]
iPhone 5s (9.1) [uuid]
iPhone 6 (9.1) [uuid]
iPhone 6 Plus (9.1) [uuid]
iPhone 6s (9.1) [uuid]
iPhone 6s (9.1) + Apple Watch - 38mm (2.0) [uuid]
iPhone 6s Plus (9.1) [uuid]
iPhone 6s Plus (9.1) + Apple Watch - 42mm (2.0) [uuid]
The problem is that I can't tell what kind of device is listed on the physical devices. The only thing you really get is the OS version, but there's no way to use this since iOS and tvOS versions are so similar.
Is there any way to lookup a device type based off of a UUID? Or another way to list devices + device types?
Note: Using xcrun simctl doesn't do me any good since I don't care about the simulator, just the physical devices that are connected.

Possible to programatically reset the simulator in test code?

I'm running some test code on the simulator but need to reset the simulator contents each time before runs to make sure the data stored and cached by the app during execution is removed before each re-run of the test cases.
Is there a way to do this from within the tests?
You can use simctl to reset your simulators from the command line, which you could use in a script in your actions to run before a test scheme, but not individual test cases. You need to install the xcode command line tools
to reset the simulator use :
xcrun simctl erase <simulator device id>
to get the device ID you use :
$ xcrun simctl list devices

Device IDs remain constant I think until they're deleted or recreated, it would probably be possible to retrieve the device id of the booted simulator using some scripting magik (which I haven't yet worked out), the current active simulator is always marked as (Booted)
You can also use simctl to create custom simulators, just use xcrun simctl to list all the stuff it does.
You could use LUA script to do this with your automated testing. Have a look at http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2011/08/11/automated-testing-on-mobile-devices-part4/ for detailed instructions.
Basically you will have lua use events to reset it.
