Did you find a fix for this?

[MariusCatanoiu]

same here on 0.72.5. it works building from xcode on debug mode. but not from VSC

Yup, Xcode build works fine -- CLI is where I run into this problem.

[MariusCatanoiu]

it works not by adding a mandatory simulator, and mode for debugging
react-native run-ios --simulator=\"iPhone 15\" --mode Debug

[HosamZewain]

it works not by adding a mandatory simulator, and mode for debugging react-native run-ios --simulator=\"iPhone 15\" --mode Debug

This works for me

i got this error after updating xcode and trying to run the project without installing simulators. so after updating xcode you have to open it and install the updated simulators too.

@Adnan-Bacic thanks for the tip. I was getting xcodebuild error 70 but downloading the newest iOS simulator in the xcode settings' platform tab fully resolved my build issues

i got this error after updating xcode and trying to run the project without installing simulators. so after updating xcode you have to open it and install the updated simulators too.

How about us?! who doesn't want to install new simulators and run into the old ones that ran before upgrading xcode?

i dont understand why you wouldt want to install the updated simulators? if you just open xcode it should prompt you automatically to do it. the simulators are a part of xcode so i think it should be normal to install/update them too.

[milon27]

it works not by adding a mandatory simulator, and mode for debugging react-native run-ios --simulator=\"iPhone 16\"

this is the actual solution . also I open xcode -> window -> simulator + devices ->
delete all the simulators except one. this way it's easy to pick up when running the app.
