[BaseDriver] Number capability passed in as string. Functionality may be compromised.

[BaseDriver] Capability ‘newCommandTimeout’ changed from string (‘12000’) to integer (12000). This may cause unexpected behavior

[XCUITest] ‘platformVersion’ capability (‘undefined’) is not a valid version number. Consider fixing it or be ready to experience an inconsistent driver behavior.
