Mkfifo is failing with "Operation not supported" when files are on windows share

When you try starting ios simulator on Mac, but the app that will be loaded in the simulator is on Windows share (or any other place where mkfifo cannot be executed), the code is failing with error:

mkfifo: <appPath>/platforms/ios/build/emulator/.<appname>.log: Operation not supported

The problem is that mkfifo is not supported at all on Windows share and cannot create the file there.
Instead of writing the file in the <appPath>/platforms/ios/build/emulator/, we should create it in the /tmp folder.

Workaround:

tns emulate ios --justlaunch
