On CI the ios job waited 2 min 21 s for the simulator to boot before xcodebuild started, then spent about 2 min resolving and building. Building needs no booted simulator, so start the boot in the background, build with build-for-testing, wait for the boot and run test-without-building. The tests still start on a fully booted simulator, and a failed boot or build fails the script as before.

Closing: the ios job was not measurably faster (8 min 17 s vs 6.5–9.5 min on recent runs); the device lookup before the build dominates. |

Shortens the
iosCI job by running the simulator boot alongside the build.In the last runs the job spent 2 min 21 s in
simctl bootstatusbeforexcodebuildstarted, then about 2 min resolving packages and compiling.scripts/test-ios.shnow starts the boot in the background, builds withbuild-for-testing, waits for the boot and runstest-without-building. The tests still start on a fully booted simulator; a failed boot or build still fails the script.Expected saving: about 2 min per run.
make test-iosand the result bundle work as before.
