Try to use the layout inspector and see the actual string rendered in the UI, is it exactly Fri Jun 8 ?

@rotemmiz Thank you for responding to my query.

I used iOS inspector to find the exact format of the value, i see it is "Thu, Jun 14"
I tried the same in my code, i didnt work. I am attaching the screen shots and pasting the error

await datePicker().setColumnToValue(0, ${day}, ${month} ${date});

` Error: Error: An action failed. Please refer to the error trace below.
Exception with Action: {
"Action Name" : "Set picker column 0 to value 'Thu, Jun 14'",
"Element Matcher" : "((kindOfClass('UIPickerView') && !(kindOfClass('RCTScrollView'))) || (kindOfClass('UIScrollView') && ((kindOfClass('UIView') || respondsToSelector(accessibilityContainer)) && ancestorThatMatches((kindOfClass('UIPickerView') && kindOfClass('RCTScrollView'))))))"
}

facing with the same issue, any look around?

Try "Jun 14" or "14 Jun", coming from native XCUITest, that's actual values (depending on locale) that are under the hood and can be selected. I'm currently just looking into Detox so not sure whether it works with it, but I would suspect that it does.
