[expo run:ios] Failed to build iOS project on iOS 15 (with EXPO_USE_CORE_SIM) #3871

EvanBacon · 2021-09-23T20:23:18Z

Summary

With iOS 15 out, my computer updated, and now expo run:ios cannot find the default device. We check the Simulator.app for the user's default device, but if the last device you opened was iOS 14, then it doesn't exist on the next run, it cannot be resolved.

Solution

Ensure EXPO_USE_CORE_SIM=0 as this system doesn't account for updates.
Run expo run:ios -d and choose a device, or open Simulator.app to update the default device.

There is not much we can do for this, Apple is wacky for removing all simulators. Leaving the issue open for now so it's easier for users to find.

thanks @EvanBacon

Haven't used expo in awhile and upgraded from Catalina -> Big Sur -> Monterey recently and was getting these errors with a fresh expo project (expo init ...)

after just following this simple advice,

... open Simulator.app to update the default device.

@xyzst how do you manually open the simulator?

@xyzst how do you manually open the simulator?

Open spotlight search (command + space bar) ➡️ search for "Simulator"

Might be able to open it from Xcode as well.

ThatMajd · 2023-11-09T11:38:42Z

Those who are still facing the issue, go to Xcode -> Settings -> Platforms, and then update or reinstall IOS, then things should work fine.
It seems that when updating Mac OS, IOS versions got deleted or something so the Simulator can't find the IOS to run the simulator.
I am not expert though, this is what worked for me.
