Description

I am unable to build for iOS via Studio when using iOS 9 and Xcode 7. Combine this with MacOS 10.11 not allowing the use of any Xcode less than Xcode 7 and the user is left not able to build for iOS, after updating. *Steps to reproduce issue* 1. Install Xcode 7 2. Create a new Titanium project 3. Attempt to run that project on a iOS 9.0 Sim or device from Studio *Actual Results* You are unable to run the project *Expected Results* The project can be run on iOS 9. *Notes* The iOS 9 simulators are not detected by appc ti info -t ios If using appc run -p ios -T device, you are able to run the project. Simulator will fail via CLI.

Running ios-sim against Xcode 7 yields the following:

I'm not sure how to fix this. I'm not sure what/where dvtiPhoneSimulatorBundle is. Perhaps it's time to abandon ios-sim in favor of wrapping simctl. The PhoneGap team has already done this: https://github.com/phonegap/simctl. It should be easy to drop it into ioslib. Relying on simctl instead of private frameworks was recommended by a good friend and he's never been wrong except that one time. :)
