How to run ionic project in simulator

Run ionic project in simulator :

To find out available emulations I run this :

$ ios-sim showdevicetypes

Note : If you get error like this :-

ios-sim: command not found

Please run :

$ npm install -g ios-sim

Now try  :

$ ios-sim showdevicetypes

This command will return a list something like this :

iPhone-5s, 10.3

iPhone-6, 10.3

iPhone-6-Plus, 10.3

iPhone-6s, 10.3

Now run below command :-

$ ionic emulate ios –target=”iPhone-7-Plus, 10.3″

If you getting this error :

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat ‘/var/root/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/EBA53E00-C037-4A52-87D3-27CFCF4CA8E5/system.log’

Follow below steps :

This happens due to the permissions on mac:

Here are the steps you can use to correct this issue:

Empty the ‘platforms’ folder in your IONIC project.

Re-run ionic platform add ios, ionic build ios, and ionic emulate ios without sudo.

$ ionic platform remove ios  ( to remove platform map be you need to add sudo before this command. like :- $ sudo ionic platform remove ios )

$ ionic platform add ios

$ ionic emulate ios –target=”iPhone-7-Plus, 10.3″
