I’m setting a Jenkins project on a remote server. Even though in my capability setting, it’s using iPhone 5, iOS 8.1. But when the simulator launching, I still see iPhone 5s simulator popup… and then my test will failed at ‘Instruments crashed on startup’
"ios81": {
"browserName": "",
"platformName": "iOS",
"platformVersion": "8.1",
"deviceName": "iPhone 5",
"app": ""
},
====> There is 1 workaround for me - manually set the iOS simulator to use Device -> iOS 8.1 -> 5… but this setting always override by other projects, so I have to keep reset it… is there any way to force set iOS simulator using different default phone? Many thanks!
