By default, when creating the simulator to run iOS unit tests, we use the newest installed runtime, even if it's a beta release of iOS. During the annual window between WWDC and the final release, we may want to test using either current stable or the beta OS version.

This adds an --ios-runtime param. By default, the code behaves as it does today, selecting the newest installed runtime. If you want to override, you can specify the simulator runtime to use explicitly, such as:

--ios-runtime com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-26-5

the returend simulator UUID is then passed to xcodebuild.

Pre-launch Checklist

If you need help, consider asking for advice on the #hackers-new channel on Discord.

If this change needs to override an active code freeze, provide a comment explaining why. The code freeze workflow can be overridden by code reviewers. See pinned issues for any active code freezes with guidance.

Note: The Flutter team is currently trialing the use of Gemini Code Assist for GitHub. Comments from the gemini-code-assist bot should not be taken as authoritative feedback from the Flutter team. If you find its comments useful you can update your code accordingly, but if you are unsure or disagree with the feedback, please feel free to wait for a Flutter team member's review for guidance on which automated comments should be addressed.

Code Review

This pull request adds support for specifying a custom iOS simulator runtime via a new --ios-runtime command-line argument, which is passed to run_objc_tests to target a specific simulator ID during testing. Feedback highlights a potential command injection vulnerability where shell=True is used with the unsanitized ios_runtime argument, and suggests refactoring the command execution to run without a shell.

* `et format` does nothing
* The patch proposed by the bot is literally corrupt and invalid:

* Every sane hand-edit is rejected.
