misc/ios: retry iOS launch even if no device app path was found

Now that the iOS exec wrapper uninstalls any existing test app before
installing a new, looking up the device app path might fail. Before,
the lookup always succeeded (even though the path reported might be
stale).

For the iOS builder.
