I am trying to emulate my Ionic app in iOS but when I run ionic cordova emulate ios I get an error:
No target specified for emulator. Deploying to undefined simulator
Device type "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.undefined" could not be found.
It seems that even though there are emulators available on my OSX, Ionic can’t access them for some reason. Why are there no devices found in Ionic when there are clearly devices that can be run elsewhere? Could this be an issue with env vars?
For reference: ionic info:
cli packages: (/usr/local/lib/node_modules)
@ionic/cli-utils : 1.19.2

When I run ionic cordova emulate ios --list I get the following output:

However, when I run ios-sim showdevicetypes I get:

There are lots of bits of code here because it requires output logs.
