Description
Users who install Xcode but don't install iOS Platform Support can't pass skip checkup. (It fails on the IPA step for a missing -destination generic/platform=iOS.)
I'd been checking iOS Platform Support on autopilot while installing Xcode as part of my installation test plan #632, but users might forget to do that.
I think skip doctor could run xcodebuild -showdestinations and could even run xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS on the user's behalf.

Research direction
Start at the skip doctor entry point and inspect the existing Xcode checks before the IPA step in skip checkup. No file or test is named; use the issue's xcodebuild -showdestinations and xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS proposals as the scope. Done means users missing iOS Platform Support can pass skip checkup.
