Getting Started

1. Install from NPM

npm install react-native-ios-start-sim
// or
yarn add react-native-ios-start-sim

2. Replace your iOS script

{
  "name": "My-React-Native-App",
  "scripts": {
    "ios":"start-ios-sim"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react-native-start-ios-sim": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

3. Run yarn ios

Using schemes

If your app uses schemes to configure environments, you can specify what scheme is started in the CLI command

{
  "name": "My-React-Native-App",
  "scripts": {
    "ios": "start-ios-sim --scheme='Development'",
  }
}
