What is your Scenario?

To execute testcafe tests on iOS real devices.

What is the Current behavior?

Test runs are extremely slow and often disconnect. On the other hand, tests are working fine on Android devices without any disconnection issues.

What is the Expected behavior?

Test performance should be comparable to android devices.

Hi, the same situation occurs on macOS 11 and above for your information.

Thank you for the detail description. I was able to reproduce the issue. I confirm that an error is thrown when you use your iPhone device as a remote.

I also tested the website on an Android device. It works on Android, but the test execution time is too long.

We’ll research this issue. Please bear with us.
