nake ios-sim - Hello world example app doesn't work

[iffy]

I'm going to leave this issue open until I can launch an app :)

Doing the following (with the current HEAD):

#!/bin/bash
set -e
[ -e "nimxios" ] && rm -r nimxios
mkdir nimxios
cd nimxios
wget https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.9.tar.gz
tar xf SDL2-2.0.9.tar.gz
cat <<E'O'F > main.nim
import nimx / [ window, layout, button, text_field ]

runApplication:
  let w = newWindow(newRect(50, 50, 500, 150))
  w.makeLayout:
    - Label as greetingLabel: # Add a view of type Label to the window. Create a local reference to it named greetingLabel.
        center == super # center point of the label should be equal to center point of superview
        width == 300 # width should be 300 points
        height == 15 # well, this should be obvious now
        text: "Press the Greet button to see the greeting" # property "text" should be set to whatever the label should display
    - Button: # Add a view of type Button. We're not referring to it so it's anonymous.
        centerX == super # center horizontally
        top == prev.bottom + 5 # the button should be lower than the label by 5 points
        width == 100
        height == 25
        title: "Greet"
        onAction:
          greetingLabel.text = "Hello, world!"
EOF

echo 'import nimx/naketools' > nakefile.nim
SDL_HOME="SDL2-2.0.9" nake ios-sim

makes an app that launches and immediately exits:

Here's what I think is the relevant portion from to log (xcrun simctl spawn booted log stream):

I can fix that by doing this before nake ios-sim:

mkdir -p res
cp $(nimble path nimx)/test/res/OpenSans-Regular.ttf res/

And it launches!

But the "Greet" button doesn't work. Is that a known defect?

Everything mentioned above should be fixed now.
