Xcode 26.4 broke paste in iOS simulator: one-line fix

I have just installed Xcode 26.4 and had the great displeasure of noticing that Cmd+V does nothing in iOS Simulator. No "Paste" option on long-press. Clipboard sync between macOS and Simulator seems dead.

Fix:

pbpaste | xcrun simctl pbcopy booted

It writes the Mac clipboard directly into the Simulator's pasteboard via simctl, bypassing the broken auto-sync. Then Cmd+V works normally inside the Simulator.
