Summary

  • Adds a new FAQ entry explaining that Shorebird code push does not work on the iOS Simulator
  • Explains the technical reason: the patching mechanism relies on an ARM interpreter for physical iOS devices, which is incompatible with the simulator's architecture

Closes #171

Test plan

  • Verify the FAQ renders correctly on the docs site
