Should clarify whether "iOS" option should be selected when installing Xcode

During first launch of Xcode, the following window shows up: image

It should probably be clarified in the docs whether "iOS" option should be ticked here.

It's partially so huge because it downloads emulators and all sorts of junk. But does it download SDKs too or are they included by default? Are the SDKs even needed for Theos if you use the patched SDKs, or rather, do the default SDKs even still work in Theos in latest Xcode?

Did we ever confirm whether or not Xcode.app was actually required or if we "require" it solely to ensure target support? If it's just for target support, may be worth modifying the requirement to just CLI tools.
