Crash when running React Native app on iPhone 15 Pro Max simulator

If you are encountering a crash when running your React Native app on the iPhone 15 Pro Max simulator, you are not alone. Many developers have faced similar issues due to compatibility problems between React Native and the latest iPhone simulator. In this blog post, we will explore two possible solutions to this problem.

Solution 1: Update React Native version

One possible solution is to update your React Native version to a newer release that includes fixes for simulator compatibility issues. Follow these steps to update React Native:

1. Open your terminal and navigate to your React Native project directory.
2. Run the following command to update React Native:

npx react-native upgrade

This command will update your React Native project to the latest version available. Make sure to review the changes and merge any necessary updates to your codebase.

Solution 2: Modify Xcode settings

If updating React Native doesn’t resolve the issue, you can try modifying the Xcode settings for your project. Follow these steps:

1. Open your React Native project in Xcode.
2. Navigate to the “Product” menu and select “Scheme” > “Edit Scheme”.
3. In the “Run” tab, select the “Info” tab.
4. Under the “Executable” section, change the “Debug Process As” option to “Native”.

By changing the “Debug Process As” option to “Native”, you are instructing Xcode to use the native debugging process instead of the JavaScript process, which can help resolve compatibility issues.

After applying one of the above solutions, try running your React Native app on the iPhone 15 Pro Max simulator again. Hopefully, the crash issue will be resolved.

Remember to always keep your development environment up-to-date to ensure compatibility with the latest tools and simulators.

That’s it! You should now be able to run your React Native app on the iPhone 15 Pro Max simulator without any crashes. If you have any further questions or encounter any other issues, feel free to reach out to the React Native community for assistance.
