v0.21.0

Highlights

v0.21 makes device automation faster and easier to control.

• iOS Simulator apps open faster. Cold opens took 27% to 40% less time across six benchmark screens. Snapshots are faster too, and cold-start commands respect the timeout you set.
• Take over a remote device without ending the agent’s session. Pause its actions, handle a step yourself, then let it continue.
• Agents get clearer results. Absence checks distinguish a missing element from a failed capture. Android snapshots expose field details such as whether an input is editable or showing placeholder text.
• Testing takes fewer steps. Crop a screenshot to a selected element, clear a field with fill <target> "", or reset the whole Simulator keychain for a fresh-login test. Maestro gains more selectors and clearState support.
• Remote runs are easier to debug. Cancellation reaches the daemon, failure logs are accessible through the proxy, and incompatible versions fail earlier.
• Installation is smaller. Dependency bundling reduced the measured install size from 9.89 MB to 4.44 MB.

Under the hood, commands now use platform-owned runtimes and shared snapshot handling, with less duplicated logic.

Before upgrading (breaking changes): batch steps now use structured input; perf requires a specific operation such as frames or memory; the deprecated SDK rotate wrapper has been removed.
