Could not find iPhone 6 simulator

More details

The same configuration is working on another machine. I tried following the documentation to force another simulator by setting react-native.ios.runArguments.device but it was ignored by the extension.

I've also ran the project on XCode targeting an iPhone 6 simulator, and it still shows it's not found on VSCode.

@wesleydesouza thank you for your request!
Try executing react-native run-ios --simulator --no-packager / react-native run-ios --simulator="<device_name>" --no-packager in terminal, does it work for you?

@wesleydesouza just a friendly ping on this.

[WesSouza]

@annakocheshkova neither work once the Simulator is open.

If I quit the simulator, most times it works.

@wesleydesouza Well, seems to be that your issue doesn't relate with extension itself. I recommend you to search for similar issues in react-native repo, besides there was already bug that caused inability for targeting iPhone 6 in extension as well.
