react-native run-ios --device failed to launch app on iPhone

Description

I can run debug version of the app via XCode, but CLI fails to do so.

We have a few real devices as well as simulators connected to a XCode Server for CI tests, so launching the apps from CLI is crucial to us.

Running react-native run-ios --device prompts the following in the console and stuck at the last line.

$ yarn react-native run-ios --device

Not really related to code, and our iPhone is not responding so no screenshots. Our only clue is the CLI output above.

npm i -g --unsafe-perm=true ios-deploy it work. Thank! @vicary

Adding console logs after the line const iosDeployInstallArgs = [...] did nothing, not sure if there was a build system in place.

Did one thing that fixed my issue, the ios-deploy was installed with yarn global add and it doesn’t work. While I was tinkering around I did npm i -g --unsafe-perm=true ios-deploy and it went through into the iPhone.

Package version didn’t change, it was 1.10.0.

I am closing this, really don’t bother further digging this to know if it was either yarn over npm or just build configs in ios-deploy.
