Description

It can happen that a test is marked as failed when an iOS/tvOS simulator is not found on the system.
Usually, this requires opening a ticket with dnceng/ddfun so that simulators become available on the host machines.
An alternative approach would be to introduce a new retry mechanism:

  1. If a test fails due to a missing simulator
  2. Install desired simulator via for example:
apple simulators install ios-simulator-64_18.0 --verbosity=Debug --xcode /Applications/Xcode_16_beta_6.app
  1. Retry the test
    which we could run when we experience said infra issues.
