Description
I am trying to build a react native app on circleci by using reactnativecommunity/react native orb. Using the latest version. However when it comes to applesimutils --list part it fails with the following error:
Error: The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.. See “applesimutils --help” for usage.

xcrun simctl list devices shows devices.

Steps to Reproduce
Node v19.0, The latest AppleSimulatorUtils & reactnativecommunity/react native orb. Go to circle ci and apple rn/ios_build_and_test

Expected Behavior
It should list devices & filter them by type if byType... is added.

xcrun simctl list --json also works

Hi guys,

Can you please state what Xcode and what version of AppleSimUtils you are using?

Thanks!

Hello!
AppleSimUtils version is 0.7.7
Xcode 10.1
Build version 10B61
this is running on circle ci fyi.

Thank you for your effort!

Unfortunately, 10.1 is very old version of Xcode. If you can, please use a newer version of Xcode, such as 10.3, or find an older version of AppleSimUtils that works with your version.

hey!
Thank you for quick response. I will try to make the versions match.
Have a good day

If you find a version of AppleSimUtils that works, I can compare to see what could have caused the issue. Let me know.
