Aug 8, 2025…sleywiser Add `target_env = "macabi"` and `target_env = "sim"` [RFC 2992](rust-lang/rfcs#2992) ([tracking issue](rust-lang#80970)) introduced `cfg(target_abi = ...)` with the original motivation being Mac Catalyst and Apple Simulator targets. These do not actually have a changed calling convention in the same sense that e.g. `cfg(target_abi = "eabihf")` or pointer authentication (`arm64e`) does, see rust-lang#133331. Specifically, for Apple Simulator targets, the binary runs under the following conditions: - Runs with the host macOS kernel (but in a mode configured for iOS/tvOS/...). - Uses frameworks for the specific simulator version being targetted. - System file accesses need to be made relative to the `IPHONE_SIMULATOR_ROOT` environment variable. - Uses host GPUs directly. And for Mac Catalyst: - Runs with the host macOS kernel (but in a mode configured for iOS). - Uses mostly host macOS frameworks (though with a few things changed, e.g. the [`NSImageResizingModeStretch`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsimage/resizingmode-swift.enum/stretch?language=objc) enum has a different value). - Uses host GPUs, camera and other peripherals directly. As can be seen, these seem better suited as `target_env`s, since it really is the environment that the binary is running under that's changed (regardless of the Mac Catalyst "macabi" having "abi" in the name). So this PR adds `target_env = "sim"` and `target_env = "macabi"`, with the idea of possibly deprecating `target_abi = "sim"` and `target_abi = "macabi"` in the far future. This affects iOS Tier 2 targets (`aarch64-apple-ios-sim`, `x86_64-apple-ios`, `aarch64-apple-ios-macabi` and `x86_64-apple-ios-macabi`), and probably needs a compiler FCP. Fixes rust-lang#133331.
