Subject: [PATCH] ios: let the host install an app-provided asset source

run_app builds the Application with the unit asset source, so every kit Icon paints a blank slot, and there is no post-run setter. set_app_assets registers an Arc<dyn gpui::AssetSource> before run_app and the runner installs it via with_assets, keeping the runner decoupled from any bundle the app might choose.
