Simulator selection via --target is wonky

[janpio]

Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

Correct simulator is selected and started.

What does actually happen?

It selects the wrong simulator.

Information

This is from work on cordova-paramedic, where the process usually selects a simulator that is available automatically and then executes the run command with that device as --target param. Since upgrading to Cordova iOS x, CLI 8 and Xcode 9 (from 7.x), this doesn't work any more.

Building for iPhone SE Simulator

So first it selects a simulator, landing on iPhone-X, 11.0. It uses that for the run --emulator command via --target iPhone-X, but that then somehow outputs "Building for iPhone SE Simulator".

Later it seems to not be able to start the app on the emulator:
