react-native run-android command not working for specific user profile

[sawasthij12]

Description

I tried to run the react-native run-android --user <userId> --device --verbose command locally and it did not pick up mentioned userID. Infact it is trying to install the app for the profiles present on the device.
I tried to debug the issue by running the above mentioned command and then running the adb command it gets translated into. I believe there is some issue in the way the command gets translated into adb command as the adb runs properly installing the app on the correct profile while the former command does not.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a simple android App locally.
2. Try to run yarn react-native run-android --user <userID> --device --verbose for a physical test device with multiple profiles
3. You will see that the app installs for all the profiles irrespective of the ID provided.
4. Verify this again by running the adb command which is available in logs of the previous command.
5. You will see the app getting installed for specific profile now.
   This shows that run-android command is not properly configured to install the app

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue.

It seems like this issue is actually unrelated to React Native core but related to the Community CLI where the run-android command lives.
