If you are a CocoaPod writer, You might want to change line 19 from

command = "xcrun simctl create '#{device_type['name']} #{runtime['name']}' #{device_type['identifier']} #{runtime['identifier']}"

to

command = "xcrun simctl create '#{device_type['name']}' #{device_type['identifier']} #{runtime['identifier']}"

to omit generating simulator names like iPhone 4s iOS 9.3 and generate iPhone 4s instead, otherwise it causes: CocoaPods/CocoaPods#5320 (comment)
