My app runs by default in the iPhone6 simulator device:

Answer 1

As answered by Ian L, I also use NPM to manage my scripts.

Example:

{
  "scripts": {
    "ios": "react-native run-ios --simulator=\"iPad Air 2\"",
    "devices": "xcrun simctl list devices"
  }
}

This way, I can quickly get what I need:

1. List all devices: npm run devices
2. Run the default simulator: npm run ios
