Change device without using xcode react-native

Question

I am using react-native version .28 and created a project which works fine.

I can run it through two ways either from xcode and other from command: react-native run-ios

But I do not want to use Xcode, I only want to use the command, but through command, I can chose only a default device: Iphone 6(9.2)

How can I change the device?

What do you mean by "change"? If you want to run on iPhone 5s you use react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 5s" if you want to run on iPhone 6 you type react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 6" — Daniel Basedow

Yes, You can change the device by running:

react-native run-ios --simulator="iPhone 6"

or if you want to make it default you can create an alias at ~/.bash_profile file:

alias rn-iphone6="react-native run-ios  --simulator \"iPhone 6\""

after that run it by the created alias:

rn-iphone6
