Description

Regression:

npx react-native build-ios --device no longer works with the --device option:

error: unknown option '--device'

This used to work in react-native v0.71 but not in either react-native v0.73, v0.74 or v0.75

Reproducible Demo

1. git clone https://github.com/jenskuhrjorgensen/react_native-build-ios-error.git
2. cd react_native-build-ios-error/ReproducerApp
3. npm i
4. npx react-native build-ios --device --mode Debug
