iPhone Simulator Not Working After Upgrade from Expo 37 -> 38

[hancho]

1. SDK Version: 38

I followed the instructions here - Expo SDK 38 is now available - DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻 and upgraded expo SDK 37 to 38.

I have not been able to use my ios simulator since the upgrade.

Attempts to fix the issue -

I cleared all caches - Yarn, Watchman, Expo.
I reinstalled the expo client on the simulator.
I removed and reinstalled all node modules.

When debug remote js is off

When debug remote js is on - I get stuck at loading 100%. The app will not move to the home screen. I’ve been using expo for almost 2 years now so I’ve taken all of the steps I’d normally take to fix the issue. I also have no debuggers enabled in code right now.

hey there! are you using the latest version of expo-cli?

[hancho]

Hey, I am -

I am still having issues if debug remote js is off, but was able to get things working again with the it on.

Really weird - I deactivated breakpoints on the chrome console, and hard refreshed a few times and it fixed itself.

My simulator isn’t seeing this issue. However, I am having trouble opening the developer menu with command + D. Also, command + R doesn’t seem to be refreshing most of the time in the iOS simulator.

I also had this issue. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. But now I figured out that it is activated by shaking the device.

If you want to shake the simulator you could use ^ + CMD+ Z.

Same here.
While I’m doing fetch in simulator, it gets “Not Found”, but work find with device.
