I'm trying to debug my app, and the React Native Tools extension automatically opens my app in iPhone X, because of weakness of my mac mini, I've been looking for a way to change the device but there's nothing. How can I change it?
I use command line to specify the simulator.
react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 6s"

I am new in react-native. I want to build an android and iOS application by using react-native. I used the Windows 10 to build the react-native project and it is ok when I run the android app using Android SDK or real device but cannot on iOS devices. I have researched this problem and know that I need to use macOS to run the iOS apps. Is it possible to build iOS apps using any iOS simulator on Windows 10?
for exporting ios apps you must have a MAC system(X-code) or you can do it in windows with VMvare that have a virtual Mac system ,and in next step you must have a developer account then other steps are simple :)
The best way to develop in react native if you did not have access to MAC OSX environment is to use EXPO as it will ensured the app could run on android and iOS.
The second option would be using private cloud Mac like MacStadium.
I have a Windows-machine and would like to use React Native for developing cross-platform UWP (so no Expo) and iOS apps. I also have a MacBook that I would like to use as a build host, like you can do with Xamarin.
Can remote build and iOS simulation with XCode be done using React Native and if so, how?
You can use Jenkins to turn your Mac in a build server. If you need the simulator you could use a screen sharing program like VNC.
I am trying to launch a react native app, created with create-react-native-app, however I do not want it to launch in the iPhone 6.
How can I change the device? All docs I can find give advice on apps created with react-native init.
npm run ios -- --simulator="iPhone X" does not seem to work
You can specify a device by using
react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 5s"
Just enter the device ID you want and all should be merry. Worth noting there is no way to currently set/change the default.
Can I use any other app instead of Expo to run react native app?
Expo is not compatible with my phone.
Yes, you can use the way suggested in the react-native docs under using a real device. You'll need adb installed, then just enable USB debugging on your phone and plug it in. Run react-native run-android in the command line to send your program to your phone.
Note that these steps may differ depending on how far you've followed to the directions for either expo or react-native.
I am working on react native app, and I do testing on iOS Simulator.
However, it always runs on iPhone 6, and i don't know how I can switch to other iPhone models like iPhone 6 Plus or 5.
I can start a different device manually by going to Simulator -> Hardware -> Device -> iOS -> iPhone 6 Plus.
But the app is installed only on iPhone 6, and it always starts iPhone 6 when I run react-native run ios.
How can I change it so that I can run the app on different iOS Simulator devices?
react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 6s Plus"
As far as I can tell there is currently no way to specify the OS.
you could open your project in Xcode on mac and choose build target, then build.
