version 'sim' in target triple 'aarch64-apple-ios-sim' is invalid

[HackerFoo]

Apple's clang 17 doesn't seem to accept arm64-apple-ios-sim anymore, it requires arm64-apple-ios-simulator, causing errors such as:

unable to generate bindings: ClangDiagnostic("error: version 'sim' in target triple 'aarch64-apple-ios-sim' is invalid\n")

@emilio is there a release schedule for this to be included? Downloading old versions of Xcode will not be an ideal solution for adoption of projects where the dependencies are waiting to be updated. I was hoping to just patch the dependency in cargo.

@emilio @pvdrz -- are there plans to publish a release any time soon? This seems to be affecting consumers of aws-lc-rs as well. If not, is there a workaround we could use in our build logic to mitigate it?

We'll have to check if we can do a release as cargo-dist seems to be broken. This only affects clang 17 iiuc, maybe using clang 16 or lower works?

I believe it does work with a lower clang. The annoying part about this is that Xcode 16.3 bundled in clang 17.
