1. Problem

$ react-native run-ios
or
$ yarn nx run-ios mobile
or
$ npx react-native run-ios

If you proceed with the mobile build with the above command, you can only check the basic simulator. If i want to change to ipad simulator or real device phone. How can I change the simulator?

2. Solution

First, you can confirm your simulator devices.

$ xcrun simctl list devices

You can confirm your devices auid and model name.
