Research direction
Start with the installation documentation and compare it with the Xcode setup described in installation test plan #632; use issue #633 for related context. Document the iOS Platform Support prerequisite and ensure the guidance explains why skip checkup otherwise fails at the IPA step with -destination generic/platform=iOS.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
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.
