iOS 26+ simulators on Apple Silicon require arm64 architecture, but the vendored ffmpeg frameworks (arm64 slice) were built for iOS device platform, not iOS Simulator. Xcode rejected the link. Fix: In setup_ios.sh, after downloading and stripping bitcode, convert each .framework to .xcframework with two variants: - ios-arm64_arm64e: device slices unchanged - ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator: arm64 slice platform converted from IOS to IOSSIMULATOR via vtool, combined with x86_64 slice Also remove arm64 from EXCLUDED_ARCHS in pod_target_xcconfig since XCFramework provides correct per-platform slices.

Summary
iOS 26+ simulators on Apple Silicon require arm64 architecture. The vendored ffmpeg frameworks (
ffmpegkit.framework,libavcodec.framework, etc.) had their arm64 slice built for iOS device platform, not iOS Simulator. Xcode rejected linking them with:Changes
scripts/setup_ios.shAfter downloading and stripping bitcode, each
.frameworkis converted to an.xcframeworkwith two variants:ios-arm64_arm64e— device variant, original arm64 + arm64e slices unchanged (platform IOS)ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator— simulator variant, arm64 slice platform converted from IOS to IOSSIMULATOR viavtool -set-build-version, combined with the pre-existing x86_64 slice (already IOSSIMULATOR)Headers and Modules directories are preserved in both variants.
