Research direction

Start with the Xcode first-launch installation window shown in the issue and verify what selecting “iOS” installs, including SDKs and emulators. Check whether Theos with patched SDKs requires that option or supports the default SDKs, then update the relevant installation documentation to state the recommendation clearly.

Description

During first launch of Xcode, the following window shows up:

It should probably be clarified in the docs whether "iOS" option should be ticked here.

It's partially so huge because it downloads emulators and all sorts of junk. But does it download SDKs too or are they included by default? Are the SDKs even needed for Theos if you use the patched SDKs, or rather, do the default SDKs even still work in Theos in latest Xcode?
