Description

Since Xcode 14.3 there is no longer a way to run Xcode with the rosetta flag enabled.
Also using arch -x86_64 react-native run-ios has no effect as it seems.
We need to run our simulators on rosetta though, since some of our dependencies are outdated and not maintained (and there is no option of swichting because hardware...)

In Xcode, there is a way around this. You can enable Rosetta in Xcode as a destination for the simulators. After enabling these in Product > Destination > Destination Architectures > Show Rosetta Destinations you can choose those in Xcode and the builds start working again.`

Unfortuantely you cannot specify the iOS Simulator name with (Rosetta) addition in run-ios --simulator. It ignores that part completely and uses the default simulator.

React Native Version

0.71.6

Steps to reproduce

• Enable Rosetta as destination in Xcode
• Try running your app with npx react-native run-ios --simulator "iPhone 8 (Rosetta)
• Build is not run on the specified destination simulator

Reproducible Demo

Just try it in any starter template, I think this feature was not in focus when adding this. If you still need a reproduction, I'm happy to provide one.

Hey @uloco could you please try with --udid option?

[jkoutavas]

I could really use this support, too.

[uloco]

@szymonrybczak The UDID is the same for both arm and rosetta versions. I cannot specify a specific udid that is different so this does not work. I cannot create a special simulator with rosetta as a destination. I can only choose in xcode to do so. Heck, I can't even start the Rosetta Simulator from the device menu. I can only select it from the dropdown where you choose the device or simulator to build for.

Would #1934 fix it @uloco ? :)

[uloco]

@adamTrz Looks like so yea, thx!

[adamTrz]

Would you mind then helping us with testing it please? 🙂

[adamTrz]

Closing since #1934 was merged :)

[jkoutavas]

Would you mind then helping us with testing it please? 🙂

@adamTrz Sure, would love to test it. How do I get this new version? I see it merged 10 minutes ago.

[uloco]

@jkoutavas got merged already so no need for testing I guess. Will it be included in the next release aka how do I know when?

[thymikee]

Released in 11.3.0

[jkoutavas]

Works like a charm. 👍

[finik-htec]

This was released as new version. I guess it wont be propagated to older versions? What is the solution there? Probably force new version or patch package?
