Description

This fixes a CI error with new Xcode present in new github workflow hosted images

For a compatibility reason the macOS 15 image (which are using instead of macos-26 because it had performance issues...) has no simulators defined for xcode-26.1 (currently xcode-latest). See actions/runner-images#13275

When the workflows started using xcode-26.1 instead of xcode-26.0.1 as the "latest-stable" tag moved, this caused xcodebuild to fail since there was no valid destination

test(ios): pin xcode version until runners have simulators defined
2694bdd 
xcode-latest is now 26.1 but there are zero simulators defined for it
in the macos hosted runner image, so use 26.0.1 for now
@mikehardy
test(ios): iOS 26.1 simulators have a crash-loop issue
c1290c9 
they are missing wallpapers and the most reliable way to dampen
the performance of this fault - which results in a crash-loop -
is to disable crash reporting
