[bug] Device list is not displayed correctly on x64

[jozan]

Summary

no iOS simulators show up in menubar dropdown when android sdk is not installed. in pre-flight screen's spinners are spinning forever.

i tried complete reinstall by removing everything with AppCleaner and using the new version downloaded from the releases page.

i don't have android dev environment installed at all because of i don't need it right now. this might be the culprit but i don't know. i tried setting the android sdk path to something random but it did not result ios simulators to show up.

i have no idea what would help to debug this in more detail. if you'd like to you can reach me out on expo discord. i use the same nickname there.

Steps to reproduce

1. open up Expo Orbit and see pre-flight checklist screen
2. see spinners spinning forever trying to resolve something
3. no ios simulators show up in menubar dropdown menu

xcrun shows these things. i have no clue if any of this helps.

$ xcrun --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

$ xcrun xcodebuild -version
Xcode 14.3.1
Build version 14E300c

$ xcrun --show-sdk-platform-version
13.3

$ xcrun --show-sdk-version
13.3

xcode-select shows the correct path where Xcode is installed

$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

this is basically a duplicate of now closed #18. as it's closed and attempted fix is released i figured a new issue is in order. if there is something more to do on my end let me know.

Hi @jozan, thanks for reporting this, can you please double-check that you have version 0.1.1 installed? You can check this by going to the settings windows

If so, can you run this command on your machine and paste the output?

# If have a M1/M2 computer
/Applications/Expo\ Orbit.app/Contents/Resources/orbit-cli-arm64 list-devices

# If you have an Intel
/Applications/Expo\ Orbit.app/Contents/Resources/orbit-cli-x64 list-devices

[jozan]

after having a quick debugging session with @gabrieldonadel on discord we concluded that there is, indeed, an issue. the cause is unknown as of now. investigation is ongoing as we speak.

[gabrieldonadel]

After the debug session with @jozan, interesting things to note:

• Running orbit-cli-x64 list-devices returns an output with a list of devices
• This is an Intel Mac (not sure if this could be related)
• The Preflight check window was being shown multiple times, (maybe @react-native-async-storage/async-storage is erroring out?)

Potentially also seeing this issue, can't see a list of devices on my intel Mac even though list-devices returns sims in them ⬇️

Not sure if it's expected, but every time I open Select build from EAS... it goes to choosing account / project, and then even if I go into a build and press Open with Orbit, it just goes back to opening the menu. I assume it's ok if I had a device in there I could've selected it 🤔

Ok, I've set up a Hackintosh in an old Intel machine and I'm able to reproduce this, the problem seems related to the communication between menu-bar and the cli, maybe it's a sandbox configuration that we need to change? I'm installing Xcode in this other machine right and a fix should come soon!
