`ios_build_test` and `ios_application ` cannot be directly used with default platform from apple_support about rules_apple

hrm yea interesting. so the problem is that currently --ios_multi_cpus takes precedence over the --platforms setting. This happens with the default value even though you're not passing it explicitly. It's because of our current transition for this. We are following in google's footsteps here and it looks like they're still using the same behavior there too. I'm not sure what implications of changing that would be.

this is actually the same as #1650

In your example your first command works because of your platform_mappings file. If you want the second command to work you'd have to add that entry to the platform_mappings file as well

Thanks! According to the discussion in #1658 , I thought we no longer need platform_mappings on bazel 7.x+. Or am I missing something?

thanks for the explanation!
