iOS 16 - app doesn't launch with permissions passed into device.launchApp() and freezes after setBiometricEnrollment()

What happened?

After updating xcode to version 14 and using iOS 16 simulator, app doest launch if device.launchApp have permissions passed inside configuration. If there are no permissions in configuration app launch as expected.

Also, after app started with empty config if we have device.setBiometricEnrollment(true) app instantly freezes.

Same config worked as expected on iOS 15 simulators.

Detox doesnt return any logs on any level due to app wasnt launched.

What was the expected behaviour?

App launches correctly

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

launch app on iOS 16 simulator with any permissions passed

In what environment did this happen?

Detox version: 19.12.1 React Native version: 0.68.2 Node version: 18.8.0 Device model: iPhone 11 Simulator iOS version: 16 macOS version: 12.6 Xcode version: 14 Test-runner (select one): jest-circus

Hi, thanks for the fixes. I am having the same issues & updated my applesimutils to v0.9.8. But running detox with

await device.launchApp({ newInstance: true, permissions: { notifications: 'YES' } })

still fails (as in it loads forever until timeout)

it was working fine before I updated my xcode from v13 to v14 with ios 16 simulator

The log i’m getting from detox test --configuration ios.sim.debug --loglevel=verbose is only load up to set permissions line & stopped

@alarm109, apparently, Apple has renamed the bundle_id with udId in this sources table. I’ve opened the corresponding issue in AppleSimUtils, here. If you want to fix this yourself, this can be a great open source contribution, if not, I’ll fix this soon.

ASU v0.9.8 released with this fix (HealthKit). Thanks to @GGGava! 👏🏼 Please upgrade your ASU version using homebrew. FYI @alarm109 ☝🏼

As for your issue @yaanr3is and @Vadko, please provide the error message you get, I suspect you have a different error than this.
