Did you test using the latest Detox?
Did your test fail and you're not sure why?
What happened?
Hi I am stuck on this issue for a month now, I would really appreciate some help.
I am able to get the test and release build done but when I run the test command the app fails to launch, but when I manually open the app it launches. I tried manual launching option but it didn't work either. (it never prompted me to launch the app).
I tried this on my another app which doesn't have a lot of dependency, and detox works there, so this is some configuration issue on my part or bug in a library, I am not sure.
What was the expected behaviour?
