I don't think the default is documented, but without a timeout it returns as soon as it discovers all the tethered devices and simulators, I believe. So on my machine it's <0.5 seconds. For some reason on some machines it takes longer than a second (at least I'm guessing that's what's happening) so this PR is to let xcdevice take the time it needs. This is kind of speculation though since the help text doesn't say.

xcdevice list [--timeout=sec]
	Lists all available devices and simulators. A higher timeout value may be required to detect network devices and paired Apple Watches.

I'm getting ~6 seconds running time xcrun xcdevices list locally with nothing plugged in.

Analysis is failing with:

warning • The parameter 'timeout' is required • packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/macos/xcode.dart:512:53 • missing_required_param

I'm getting ~6 seconds running time xcrun xcdevices list locally with nothing plugged in.

Hmm, maybe I need to up it to 2 seconds then. I've seen missing plugged in devices quite a few times in the devicelab today.

This makes me sad.
