Description

After updating to XCode 14, I can't run my application without manually specifying a simulator.

$ yarn ios
yarn run v1.22.19
$ react-native run-ios
warn Multiple Podfiles were found: ios/Podfile,vendor/bundle/ruby/2.7.0/gems/cocoapods-core-1.11.3/lib/cocoapods-core/Podfile. Choosing ios/Podfile automatically. If you would like to select a different one, you can configure it via "project.ios.sourceDir". You can learn more about it here: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/master/docs/configuration.md

All instances of "iPhone 13" in xcrun simctl list --json devices have "isAvailable" : false (gist), so I'm not sure why it's trying to run that simulator.

Reproducible Demo

$ npx react-native@0.70.1 init SimulatorTest
...
$ cd SimulatorTest
$ yarn ios
$ yarn ios
yarn run v1.22.19
$ react-native run-ios

Addressed by #1701 which is in review

This fix is released in v9.1.2.

If you're on an older version of React Native (and hence an older version of the CLI) then another solution is to just create an iPhone 13 simulated device by going to File > New Simulator... in the iOS Simulator.
