The react-native run-ios --device command fails with an error. The app runs on the simulator using the react-native run-ios command without any problem. I suspect some misconfiguration in the XCode settings for this project. The versions involved are as follows:
XCode: 12.0.1.
iOS: 13.7 running on IPhone X
iOS Deployment Target Version: 12.0
