Use xcrun devicectl to deploy to iOS devices.

Looks like ios-deploy has issues with Xcode 15. ios-control/ios-deploy#588

Xcode 15 added a new tool xcrun devicectl which is similar to xcrun simctl but for physical devices. Though, it doesn't work with older devices - I've got an iphone 5 that doesn't list with xcrun devicectl list devices.

I had a look, and this is a very sad mess. devicectl will just let us start the app. There is no way to capture output or the app return code. And it looks like the ios-deploy folks have more or less given up.

At this stage, I can't see any "clean" way out of this. Nothing that does not rely on super hacky stdout/stderr capture from within the app... or something else from within the app, like a custom test harness. And a way to gather all of this from the development host.

This is very sad. Apple has waited nearly 20 years to provide half of a solution to a problem they created, and managed to break the third-party solution doing so.

There may be part of a solution here ios-control/ios-deploy#588 (comment)

Basically we would have to switch ios-deploy for https://github.com/doronz88/pymobiledevice3 and try to replug everything back together. And hope Apple does not break it again in three months...
