The Simulator.Commands.Tests.proj was using osx.13.amd64.open (macOS Ventura 13) which is the oldest macOS Helix queue. All other Apple simulator test projects in this repo already use osx.15.amd64.open, and dotnet/runtime also uses osx.15 as their baseline for simulator testing.

This updates the queue to osx.15.amd64.open to align with the rest of the repo and dotnet/runtime.

The osx.15 machines have iOS 18.1 pre-installed. The old 16.4 version
required downloading a 6.18 GB simulator runtime, causing timeouts.

The non-architecture-specific app bundle (from June 2025) fails to launch
on iOS 18.1 simulators. Update the download URL to use the x64-specific
path which has a newer app bundle (December 2025) that is compatible.

…ds E2E test

The manual 'install' + 'just-test' flow has a systematic failure on iOS 18.1
simulators (APP_LAUNCH_FAILURE). The 'apple test' command, which handles the
full lifecycle internally, works correctly on the same platform. This change
replaces the failing flow while still exercising 5 manual commands:
simulators install, reset-simulator, device, test (with --device), and uninstall.

The 'just-test' failure on iOS 18.1 should be investigated separately.

The 'apple test' command shuts down the simulator during cleanup,
which causes the subsequent 'apple uninstall' to fail with
PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND. The uninstall is still executed to exercise
the command, but its exit code no longer affects the test result.

@matouskozak @kotlarmilos - we will likely need to backport this to release/net10 branch as well, what do you think?

I think we're currently serving all runtime servicing branches from the main of dotnet/xharness. We can backport this in a case we want to go back to using xharness servicing branches again (now or in the future).

* Don't fail test on uninstall after 'apple test' cleanup

The 'apple test' command shuts down the simulator during cleanup,
which causes the subsequent 'apple uninstall' to fail with
PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND. The uninstall is still executed to exercise
the command, but its exit code no longer affects the test result.
