react-native run-ios “Could not find iPhone X simulator”

问题

这个问题发生在旧的RN版本（0.57，0.58（<0.58.4），…）和Xcode 10.3中，其中可用模拟器的名称得到了一些调整 在文件node_modules/@react native community/cli/build/commands/runIOS/findMatchingSimulator.js中，react native尝试通过简单的.startsWith检查选择正确的模拟器。由于重命名，检查现在应该使用.includes（ref）

解决方案

1. 跟新你的RN版本到0.58.4 +
2. 如果您无法或不会升级到新的RN版本，则可以使用以下命令自动调整findMatchingSimulator.js文件：

sed -i '' 's/startsWith/includes/g' node_modules/react-native/local-cli/runIOS/findMatchingSimulator.js

用这个命令就不用我们去node_modules下面手动修改源码了

还可以把这个命令 放到package.json 的 script节点下面 指定命令 然后用npm run xx 直接执行这个命令 这样用起来更方便一些
