Description
Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with NativeScript version 8.9.3.
On my Intel-based MacBook, the application crashes instantly upon launching in the iOS simulator when I run ns debug ios. However, it runs perfectly fine on an M4-based MacBook.
I have tested this with both iOS 18 and iOS 17 simulators, and the result is the same instant crash on the Intel machine.
This leads me to ask: Is running on the iOS simulator on Intel-based MacBooks no longer supported?

Research direction
Reproduce ns debug ios on an Intel-based MacBook using the iOS 17 and iOS 18 simulators, then compare the behavior with an M4-based MacBook. Determine whether Intel simulator support is intentionally unavailable or identify the cause of the instant crash; the issue is resolved when support status or a reproducible failure cause is documented.
