iOS testbed doesn't honor .pth files #135966
Description
Activity
The fix for this is that the
app_packagesfolder used to install dependencies needs to be processed as a site location. The code for this is already present in the Briefcase iOS template.In addition to the testbed needing to be updated to do app package handling, the documentation advising on setting up an iOS interpreter (and the testing infrastructure) needs to be updated.

Bug report
Bug description:
When running tests through the iOS testbed,
.pthfiles that are installed by packaged (such as the setuptools "distutils_hack") will not be processed.This surfaced during testing of an iOS patch for Pillow, which uses pyroma; pyroma depends on distutils; but because the .pth file installed by setuptools isn't processed, distutils can't be imported, and so neither can pyroma.
