Launching on simulator on El Capitan with Xcode 7 fails

Reproducable with latest PlayN and RoboVM 1.6.

@samskivert looks like the PlayN Hello World sample is actually using RoboVM 1.0.0?

That won't work with El Capitan, Xcode 7 and iOS 9.0.

Fixing up the robovm.maven.version to 1.6.1-SNAPSHOT still produces the error.

Running on an iphone-sim works as intended. Looks like only ipad targets are affected. Full stack trace:

@samskivert the default architecture for simulator builds has changed to x86_64. If you specify a simulator that only supports 32-bit without specifying the arch, things fail. Here's a snippet i used in hello/robovm/pom.xml to fix it:

<id>robosim</id>
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.robovm</groupId>
            <artifactId>robovm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <configuration>
              <deviceName>iPad-Retina</deviceName>
              <arch>x86</arch>
...

Alternatively, you can use the iPad-Air device name instead of iPad-Retina, which supports x86_64.
