Hello everyone. 1st of all, thx for your great work on this project! :)

Trying to use iOS and Appium

Following a research of using iOS, Appium and specific APIs like getRenderObjectDiagnostics I faced some issues that blocked me.

Appium cannot use debug-mode iOS builds

On this ticket: #73935
We see that Appium cannot start an iOS application that was build using debug mode.

Do we have a way to launch a debug-mode iOS build via flutter cli or something of those sorts?

A possible solution is to use profile-mode

While researching on Appium Flutter Driver, I found: appium/appium-flutter-driver#115
Which describes that the solution right now is to build the iOS app in profile mode in order to use Appium.

By using profile-mode iOS builds, some APIs are unavailable

But by doing that, we lose the possibility to use the API I mentioned: #70772


I opened this issue following @Hixie comment here: #70772 (comment)

PS: Please, if a solution is 100% achievable from userland, let me know and feel free to close off this issue!
