How to get react-native run-ios to open in iTerm instead of Terminal on a macOS?

Daniel's solution worked, but as soon as I reinstalled node_modules it stopped working.

To make the change persistent, right-click on launchPackager.command in node_modules/react-native/scripts/ and choose Get Info… Then change the "Open with:" section to iTerm, and click on Change All…

enter image description here

The packager is started by executing open $PROJECT/node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command, so whatever program is associated with *.command will be started. You can change the association:

Open Finder
Navigate to $PROJECT/node_modules/react-native/scripts/ (or simply create an empty file with the .command extension anywhere)
Right click launchPackager.command
Press the OPTION key
Under "Always open with..." you can select iTerm
