What's Changed

Features

New API - device.resetAppState([...bundleIds]) (#4819, @noomorph) 🙌🏻🎉

Introducing a new efficient way to reset app state without full uninstall/reinstall cycles.

On Android, uses pm clear for fast data clearing, while iOS implements a smart backup/restore mechanism that preserves app binaries. Perfect for test isolation and faster CI pipelines.

Supports resetting multiple apps at once: await device.resetAppState('com.app1', 'com.app2') or just the current app with await device.resetAppState(). Also integrates with device.launchApp({resetAppState: true}) for seamless test setup.

Additional Fixes

• iOS: Device creation with new applesimutils (#4836)
  Fixes issue with automatic iOS device creation with newer versions of applesimutils (>0.9.10)

• Sanitize dollar sign in artifact names (fix for #4798)
  Android tests with $ in the test name previously had an issue with saving artifacts.

• Broken Jest output on early setup errors (#4804)
  Early environment setup errors induced garbled logs like m\nm\nm\n[\n[\nm\n, thanks @MadSandwich for the repro
