Port overriding failing on 0.61.4

With the standard port of 8081 in use, overriding the port to 8088 does not work. When running the iOS app, the app will still look for port 8081.

React Native version: System: OS: macOS 10.15.1 CPU: (12) x64 Intel® Core™ i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 431.70 MB / 16.00 GB Shell: 3.2.57 - /bin/bash Binaries: Node: 11.4.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v11.4.0/bin/node npm: 6.10.2 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v11.4.0/bin/npm Watchman: 4.9.0 - /usr/local/bin/watchman SDKs: iOS SDK: Platforms: iOS 13.2, DriverKit 19.0, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13.2, watchOS 6.1 Android SDK: API Levels: 24, 27, 28, 29 Build Tools: 27.0.3, 28.0.3, 29.0.0, 29.0.2 System Images: android-28 | Google APIs Intel x86 Atom IDEs: Android Studio: 3.5 AI-191.8026.42.35.5977832 Xcode: 11.2.1/11B53 - /usr/bin/xcodebuild npmPackages: react: 16.9.0 => 16.9.0 react-native: 0.61.4 => 0.61.4

Steps To Reproduce

1. npx react-native init Test
2. cd Test
3. npx react-native start --port=8088
4. open ios/Test.xcworkspace in Xcode
5. Edit Start Packager build phase of “Test” target to change port from 8081 to 8088
6. Press Build and Run in Xcode
7. Simulator will start, app will start, but error:

No bundle URL present.

Make sure you're running a packager server or have included a .jsbundle file in your application bundle.

1. Debug console in Xcode shows that the app is still looking for port 8081:

Describe what you expected to happen

I expect to see the starter app running in the simulator

I’m also experiencing this problem after upgrading to v0.61.4 from v.0.59.5
