How to change the default Xcode iphone simulator when testing in the terminal?

Question

I know there is a simular question here: (How to change the default Xcode iphone simulator when testing) But it still doesn't answer the question of how to do it in the terminal.

Meaning: I'm working on a React Native project now & when I run it in the terminal (react-native run-ios) it opens iPhone 6. Now I would like to change this default to a iPhone 7 as it works better on my screen. How can I change this. (I've tried changing it in Xcode, but It keeps changing back.)

I have looked through All similar questions, and haven't found a straight forward answer. Does anyone know?

You can provide your preferred simulator in the command as:

react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone5"

You can check the available simulators by running this command from the terminal:

xcrun simctl list devices
