Error "Running on physical iOS devices is possible only in release mode" when run patrol build with simulator

[Wreos]

Steps to reproduce

1. Run simulator (iPhone 14, iOS 16.4)
2. Clone example app
3. Try to run patrol build ios --target integration_test/example_test.dart

Actual results

The most interesting thing that patrol test works fine at the same time, problem only with patrol build

TL;DR To build artifacts for a physical iOS device:

patrol build ios --target integration_test/example_test.dart --release

To build artifacts for an iOS simulator:

patrol build ios --target integration_test/example_test.dart --debug --simulator

---

Whether the simulator is running doesn't matter here. By calling patrol build ios --target integration_test/example_test.dart, you're saying "build my APKs for an iOS device in debug mode", but it's not supported. To learn more about it, #1303 is a good starting point.

patrol test works, because it under the hood calls patrol build for the current device, which happens to be an iOS simulator. It's explained in the docs here - feel free to submit a PR if you found something to be not clear enough.
