start-emulator

start-emulator is a wrapper over start-ios-simulator and start-android-emulator cli utilities developed by @wswebcreation.

This cli solves next problems:

allows passing emulator/simulator options via arguments
persist previously selected arguments to not refill prompts every time
have same command syntax for starting emulated device instead of guessing is it emulator or simulator

On top of it there is also a command to install app onto a booted device.

Install

yarn
```
yarn global add start-emulator
```
npm
```
npm install -g start-emulator
```
