Centralizing Device Configurations for iOS 26 Rollout

[proksh]

Hey everyone! 👋

As we prepare for the iOS 26 rollout, we’re looking to streamline how we handle device-related settings. Currently, these configurations are scattered; we propose consolidating them into a single platform configuration block.

We want the yaml to be the "source of truth," while still allowing flexibility via CLI overrides for CI/CD pipelines and local debugging.

# inside config.yaml
platform:
  ios:
    model: "iPhone-11"
    os: "iOS-18.2"
    locale: "en_US"
    orientation: "portrait"
    disableAnimations: true
  android:
    model: "pixel-8"
    emulatorImage: "system-images;android-33;google_apis;arm64-v8a"
    locale: "en_US"
    snapshotKeyHonorModalViews: false
    disableAnimations: true

🗳️ Multi-Select Poll: Which should have CLI Overrides?

While the config file handles the spefication, we want to know which flags are most critical for your daily workflows and need to be available as flags. Please react to the options below or drop a comment!

Please react to this post with the corresponding emojis for all that apply:

• --device-model, --device-os: React with 👍
• --device-locale, --device-orientation: React with 🎉
• --disableAnimations: React with 🚀
• --snapshotKeyHonorModalViews: React with ❤️
• --emulator-image - full image of emulator like --emulator-image="system-images;android-33;google_apis;arm64-v8a": React with 👏
• I want every YAML key available as a flag: React with 👀

Good proposal! I'd definitely want --device-model and --device-os as CLI flags, plus --disableAnimations for faster CI runs. Having every YAML key as a flag would be powerful for scripting. Looking forward to the rollout!
