Automate overriding the status bars for all running iOS simulators

Blog posts:

• Overriding status bar display settings in the iOS simulator
• A script to automate overriding iOS simulator status bar values

Xcode 11 shipped with simctl status_bar, a tool to override the status bar values in the simulator so you can take perfect screenshots.

However, it has some issues:

• The overrides do not persist across launches of the simulator
• The numerous override options are difficult to remember
• There are no sensible defaults

This script fixes that. It overrides the status bars for all currently running simulators using "Apple's defaults" — full cellular bars, full wifi bars, full battery, and 9:41 for the time.
