Changing or removing the carrier name on the iOS simulator using xcrun simctl status_bar

Question

As of iOS 13, SimulatorStatusMagic no longer works, but happily Apple have provided a first-party solution through simctl status_bar.

However I can't find any way to remove or change the "Carrier" text:

Setting --cellularMode notSupported removes it, but it also removes the cellular bars.

Is there any way to reproduce the previous functionality of SimulatorStatusMagic and remove or change just the carrier name?

Edit: Xcode 11.4 includes a new parameter to set the operator name, though it doesn't seem to work. The documentation provides the following:

    --operatorName <string>
         Set the cellular operator/carrier name. Use '' for the empty string.

Answer 1

I was able to remove the carrier name by passing not an empty string to operatorName but a string with just a space ' '

However, using operatorName alone will not have any effect. You also need to activate cellularMode.

For Example

xcrun simctl status_bar "iPhone 8 Plus" override --operatorName ' '

gives this result

whereas

xcrun simctl status_bar "iPhone 8 Plus" override --operatorName ' ' --cellularMode active

results in this
