Enhanced iOS test app setup with better prerequisite handling: Requirements Checker: - Created check-requirements.sh script - Verifies all prerequisites (macOS, Xcode, Ruby, CocoaPods, Node.js) - Checks Ruby version (requires 3.1+) - Detects CocoaPods in multiple locations (PATH, rbenv, gem bin) - Validates UTF-8 encoding - Provides installation instructions for missing items Build Script Improvements: - Enhanced CocoaPods detection (checks PATH, rbenv, gem bin) - Better error messages with installation options - Automatic LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export - Uses detected pod command location Documentation Updates: - Expanded prerequisites section with versions - Added rbenv recommendation - Added quick requirements check step - Clearer installation instructions Fixes: - Handles rbenv-based CocoaPods installation - Works with system Ruby, rbenv, or Homebrew - Provides helpful error messages Result: Developers can easily verify and install all requirements

# Build for simulator
xcodebuild -workspace App.xcworkspace \
-scheme App \
-configuration Debug \
-sdk iphonesimulator \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15 Pro' \
clean build
# Install on simulator
APP_PATH=$(find build -name "*.app" -type d | head -1)
xcrun simctl install booted "$APP_PATH"
xcrun simctl launch booted com.timesafari.dailynotification
Using Build Script
cd test-apps/ios-test-app
./scripts/build-and-deploy.sh
