This only started happening after I updated from xcode 14.x to 15 and IOS Simulators from 16.x to 17.0. I can run the app fine using the xcode build button. I have tried specifying a phone UDID, same error.

I am using react-native 0.70.6 and react 18.1.0. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling xcode. I have deleted node modules and pods and reinstalled them. I have cleaned build folders and rebuilt. Nothing.

    Try to add the following to the scripts part of the package.json:

    "ios-15": "react-native run-ios --simulator=`iPhone 15`",

    and run with the following command:

    npm run ios-15

    In my case, I had a problem with XCode Version 15.1 and I had to downgrade it to the XCode Version 15.0. But after that, I still received "error No simulator available with name IPhone 15". So the solution was to go to XCode -> Settings -> Platform and delete extra Simulator SDK for IOS 17.1.
