Describe the problem

Our docs currently say:

Start the iOS Simulator with the following command:
open -a Simulator

Starting with Xcode 27 (which is in beta right now), the simulator app has been replaced with "DeviceHub" app.

Expected fix

Open command should be changed to DeviceHub

open -a DeviceHub

Additional context

I'm not sure if we want to just change this outright or say something like if you're using Xcode 27+, do this, otherwise, do this

I would like to fix this problem.

  • I will try and fix this problem on docs.flutter.dev.
