@kelset EDIT I managed to fix my issue by adding “(12.0)” (for iOS 12) as I have older OS simulators installed too - specifying a simulator now works as follows:

react-native run-ios --simulator 'iPad Pro (10.5-inch) (12.0)' --configuration Debug
react-native run-ios --simulator 'iPad Pro (10.5-inch) (11.0)' --configuration Release

'iPad Pro (11-inch) (12.2)' adding the OS version matters.
