Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes iOS simulator selection issues in CI pipelines when newer Xcode versions are present but older simulators need to be used. The change addresses compatibility problems where devices like iPhone XS may no longer be supported in newer Xcode versions.
Key changes:
- Replaces dynamic 'latest' iOS version with specific '18.4' version for consistent simulator selection
- Removes compatibility test parameters and pool configurations that are no longer needed
- Removes architecture-specific demands from macOS pool configurations

Description of Change
Seems we found that if we have a new XCOde but want to use a old simulator from the Xcode we selected that doesn t work sometimes, special if the device is stop being supported like iPHone XS.
SO lets specify always the value of the simulator to start.
