When I run this command:
react-native run-ios My app runs by default in the iPhone6 simulator device:
Found Xcode project RN.xcodeproj Launching iPhone 6 (9.2)... How can I have the app run in a different simulator device (like iPhone5s) by default?

Specifying a device You can specify the device the simulator should run with the --simulator flag, followed by the device name as a string. The default is "iPhone 13" . If you wish to run your app on an iPhone SE (2nd generation), run npx react-native run-ios --simulator='iPhone SE (2nd generation)' .
Open your react native app's directory, navigate to ios folder, and double-click on . xcworkspace file to open the Xcode. Next, open the Product menu, go to Destination, and select your device. If you don't have an Apple Developer account, you must create one to be able to run your project on an iOS device.
In Xcode, go to Product -> Destination -> Choose Destination menu and selecting the device you'd like to be your default.
Specify a simulator using the --simulator flag.
