Support for Real Devices?

[winstondu]

I was playing around with this library, and I noticed that this library's functionality does not seem to work on real devices, but works perfectly fine on simulator.

Is there a method to allow my tests to support real devices?

In theory, it should be more than possible to snapshot a real device. Reveal, for example, is a mac program that can interface with an iOS device and get its complete view hierarchy (as such, generating a screenshot is completely possible).

I'm curious as well. Works well on simulator, but fails on physical device (Error: ...SnapshotError error 0).

I don't think we ever tried this because running on device is more friction than running on Simulator. If you have some potential fixes, feel free to PR them.

@alanzeino , that's true. However, there are reasons where things don't show up in simulator (e.g. hvec videos)

I don't think any video content should be inside a snapshot, considering video compression — I can only imagine it causing you issues down the line
