New API for controlling synchronization
Updated EarlGrey to 1.9.4
Added session per configuration option

This release is focused solely on sync improvements.

iOS

• Added an Idling resource that syncs with React Native Animated (Native Driver)
• Added Idling resources for every RN Native Module - any new/custom native module is now supported out of the box.

CLI

• --debug-synchronization [value] - When an action/expectation takes a significant amount of time use this option to print device synchronization status. The status will be printed if the action takes more than [value]ms to complete.

• Matching by.label now work on RN44
• Added by.accessibilityLabel , will deprecate by.label - since matcher name is confusing.

please refer to the Migration Guild for details

• breaking: device configurations type simulator is now changed to ios.simulator
• Added native app debugging support with a new configuration ios.none. This new configuration will not start a simulator, and not trigger any command that use fbsimctl. This enables the developer to start the app from Xcode and connect to it with detox.

This version adds user notification mocking capabilities:
