What problem does it solve? --> <!-- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. --> I wanted to test in two simulators: - iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18.5 - iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26.2 When I do `cordova run ios --list`, I get: ```bash Available iOS Devices: Available iOS Simulators: iPhone-17-Pro, 26.2 iPhone-17-Pro-Max, 26.2 iPhone-Air, 26.2 iPhone-17, 26.2 iPhone-16e, 18.5 iPhone-16e, 26.2 iPad-Pro-13-inch-M5-12GB, 26.2 iPad-Pro-11-inch-M5-12GB, 26.2 iPad-Pro-11-inch-M4-8GB, 18.5 iPad-Pro-13-inch-M4-8GB, 18.5 iPad-mini-A17-Pro, 18.5 iPad-mini-A17-Pro, 26.2 iPad-Air-13-inch-M3, 18.5 iPad-Air-13-inch-M3, 26.2 iPad-Air-11-inch-M3, 18.5 iPad-Air-11-inch-M3, 26.2 iPhone-16-Pro, 18.5 iPhone-16-Pro-Max, 18.5 iPhone-16, 18.5 iPhone-16-Plus, 18.5 iPhone-16-Plus, 26.2 iPad-A16, 18.5 iPad-A16, 26.2 ``` When I tried to run ```bash cordova run ios --target="iPhone-16-Pro, 18.5" ``` it always failed with this log: ```bash Building for "iPhone 16 Pro" Simulator (com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.iPhone-16-Pro, iPhone-16-Pro).

Please download and install the platform from Xcode > Settings > Components. } Command failed with exit code 70: xcodebuild -workspace App.xcworkspace -scheme App -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator -destination platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16 Pro build ``` When I tried to use the UUID like the following: ```bash cordova run ios --target=E4D9D5C2-661E-4AA7-B31D-0D5079C002BD ``` it says: ``` Select last emulator from list as default. No simulator found for "E4D9D5C2-661E-4AA7-B31D-0D5079C002BD". Falling back to the default target. ``` than it builds, but saying at the end ``` Deploying to simulator Error: Device type "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.E4D9D5C2-661E-4AA7-B31D-0D5079C002BD" could not be found. ``` I asked Copilot in Visual Studio Code, what's happening and it changed the two files added to this PR. After that, the following do work: ```bash cordova run ios --target=E4D9D5C2-661E-4AA7-B31D-0D5079C002BD cordova run ios --target="iPhone-16-Pro, 18.5" cordova run ios --target="iPhone 16 Pro, 18.5" ``` I noticed that I had `iPhone 16 Pro, 18.5` two times installed in XCode, but think, this was not the root cause of the problem. When I run this PR with two `iPhone 16 Pro, 18.5` installed: ```bash cordova run ios --target="iPhone-16-Pro, 18.5" ``` I get the following natural error: ```bash xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a device matching the provided destination specifier: { platform:iOS Simulator, OS:18.5, name:iPhone 16 Pro } The requested device could not be found because multiple devices matched the request. ( "<DVTiPhoneSimulator: 0x83286c000> {\n\t\tSimDevice: iPhone 16 Pro (E4D9D5C2-661E-4AA7-B31D-0D5079C002BD, iOS 18.5, Booted)\n}", "<DVTiPhoneSimulator: 0x83286c280> {\n\t\tSimDevice: iPhone 16 Pro (0C7B1CB0-BED0-4DE2-A6CC-FC4CD471A114, iOS 18.5, Shutdown)\n}" ) ``` It shows the error because of `multiple devices matched the request`. I reviewed my console history and didn't find this error, before applying the changes. ### Description <!-- Describe your changes in detail --> ### Testing <!-- Please describe in detail how you tested your changes. --> ### Checklist - [ ] I've run the tests to see all new and existing tests pass - [ ] I added automated test coverage as appropriate for this change - [ ] Commit is prefixed with `(platform)` if this change only applies to one platform (e.g. `(android)`) - [ ] If this Pull Request resolves an issue, I linked to the issue in the text above (and used the correct [keyword to close issues using keywords](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords/)) - [ ] I've updated the documentation if necessary -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
