Features

feat: CLI and JS config parity (#2965, @noomorph)

Previously you could override these options only via command line arguments. Now you can modify them via JS/JSON configs:

  interface DetoxAndroidEmulatorDriverConfig extends DetoxSharedAndroidDriverConfig {
      type: 'android.emulator';
      device: string | { avdName: string };
+     bootArgs?: string;
+     gpuMode?: 'auto' | 'host' | 'swiftshader_indirect' | 'angle_indirect' | 'guest';
+     headless?: boolean;
+     readonly?: boolean;
  }

  interface DetoxSharedAndroidDriverConfig {
+     forceAdbInstall?: boolean;
      utilBinaryPaths?: string[];
  }
    
  interface DetoxIosSimulatorDriverConfig {
    type: 'ios.simulator';
    device: string | Partial<IosSimulatorQuery>;
+   bootArgs?: string;
  }

feat(device): add .permanent option to app launch args (#2990, @noomorph)

Now you can persist app launch args between device.selectApp(name) calls, e.g.:

device.appLaunchArgs.modify({ ourMockServerPort: 9999 }, { permanent: true });
await device.selectApp('app2');
device.appLaunchArgs.get(); // { ourMockServerPort: 9999 }

Deprecations

CLI: avoid using --device-launch-args if you already do – use --device-boot-args instead. Otherwise, you'll be seeing deprecation warnings
