E2E test Expo - Detox Failed to find a device by type iOS on CI

Question

I am working on a mobile application with expo SDK 50, [email protected] and I am using Detox (20.13.5) for my e2e tests. It used to work well on Github Actions, but it seems that my action these days has trouble to find a simulator to run the tests.

  DetoxRuntimeError: Failed to find a device by type = "iPhone 15 Pro Max"

    HINT: Run 'applesimutils --list' to list your supported devices. It is advised only to specify a device type, e.g., "iPhone Xʀ" and avoid explicit search by OS version.

I took a look to the react-native example on wix/detox repo to have an idea of the right configuration for my .detoxrc.js and ended to this chunk for iOS sim :

devices: {
  simulator: {
    type: 'ios.simulator',
    device: {
      type: 'iPhone 15 Pro Max',
      os: '17.2'
    },
  },
},

My yml file is as code below. I am not giving any configuration for the simulator, but I don't know if it's needed as long as I never saw something like that on Detox documentation or examples.

Maybe I am missing something obvious here, but please tell me if you need more information or details about my code.

Thank your for your help, I'll be pleased to discuss further with you on this subject.
