 ### 🎉 New features
 
+- [eas-cli] Make `eas simulator` the canonical command and keep `eas simulator:start` as an alias. ([#4112](https://github.com/expo/eas-cli/pull/4112) by [@szdziedzic](https://github.com/szdziedzic))
 - [build-tools] Add `ref` input to the `eas/checkout` step to check out a different git ref (branch, tag, or commit SHA) than the one that triggered the job. ([#4035](https://github.com/expo/eas-cli/pull/4035) by [@sswrk](https://github.com/sswrk))
 - [build-tools] Load local composite function catalogs at build time so custom builds and generic jobs can resolve local composite functions referenced via `uses:`. ([#3930](https://github.com/expo/eas-cli/pull/3930) by [@sswrk](https://github.com/sswrk))
