Device Log Streaming
You can now stream logs from iOS devices, including OSLog. Run the app on a device with the --log flag, or press L in interactive mode to follow logs in real time.
Orientation Support
New flowdeck simulator orientation get|set command. Your agent can now rotate the screen to validate and test different layouts — portrait, landscape left, landscape right.
This also includes updates to the automation system, so you can automate your app in any orientation. (Thanks, Matt T.)
Also in this release
Improved simulator erase. No more manual shutdown before erasing. FlowDeck handles the full lifecycle automatically.
Hybrid Swift package tests. Hybrid test plans now support
swift testwith--test-casesfilters. Stray whitespace in copy-pasted test case lists no longer breaks anything.Cleaner test failures. Build failures surface immediately when running tests. Agents no longer need to rebuild the app to figure out what's broken. (Thanks, Daniel Y.)
