NativeModule.RNDeviceInfo is null on iOS 10.x (works on iOS 13.x)

Bug

Getting the following error when running our app in the simulator for iOS 10.3.1:

@react-native-community/react-native-device-info: NativeModule.RNDeviceInfo is null.

On iOS 13.2.2 it works.

I’ve cleaned out the build and ran pod install again. Also, just switching targets between my “iPhone 5 (iOS 10.3.1)” and “iPhone 11 Pro (iOS 13.2.2)” makes it work/not work.

“you have cleaned out the build” -> npx react-native-clean-project clean-project-auto and try again - let me know if you still see it? (hypothesis: stale DerivedData)
