Go on iOS

+To use the go tool to run individual programs and tests, put $GOROOT/bin into PATH to ensure

+The go_ios_exec wrapper uses GOARCH to select the emulator (amd64) or the device (arm64).
+However, further setup is required to run tests or programs directly on a device.
First make sure you have a valid developer certificate and have setup your device properly
to run apps signed by your developer certificate. Then install the libimobiledevice and
