Description

### Describe the issue

I’m encountering an issue when running Google Test on the tvOS 26.x and iOS 26.x simulator. It only runs approx. 10 per of the tests .

This does not appear to occur (or is less noticeable) on earlier tvOS versions, suggesting a possible compatibility issue with tvOS 26.x.

### Steps to reproduce the problem

Expected Behavior:
Tests should run and report results normally, as they do on other supported platforms or earlier tvOS versions(18.x or earlier).

Actual Behavior:
Tests fail to run on the tvOS 26.x simulator.

### What version of GoogleTest are you using?

Environment:

Google Test version: 1.17.0(tried with 1.12.0 as well)

### What operating system and version are you using?

macOS version: 26.3

### What compiler and version are you using?

Xcode version: 26.3
gcc -v
Apple clang version 17.0.0 (clang-1700.6.4.2)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin25.3.0
Thread model: posix

clang -v
Homebrew clang version 17.0.6
Target: arm64-apple-darwin25.3.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /opt/homebrew/opt/llvm@17/bin

### What build system are you using?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the GoogleTest run on the tvOS 26.x and iOS 26.x simulators with GoogleTest 1.17.0, Xcode 26.3, and CMake 4.2.1, then compare it with an earlier simulator version. Determine why only about 10% of tests run and confirm that the suite executes and reports results normally on the affected simulator.
