Booted sims can not be resized about idb HOT 7 CLOSED

When you boot with FBSimulatorLaunchOptionsEnableDirectLaunch it will start simulator but it will not open Simulator application. This way you operate simulator "in the background" which is lighter as system does not have to render it.

@marekcirkos Yes, I figured that. However, when I boot in this way and then do a check of the simulator state on a subsequent run, it is reporting shutdown.

Regardless, it sounds whatever is causing the resizing issue is present in all three other methods? Is this a known issue? I don't see any config options that seem to control the ability to resize.

Launching with different initial scales doesn't seem to help either.

We use simulators in automated way, so there is no need for resizing by hand.
Do you mind saying what is your use case?

I suppose the obvious one is if someone is debugging their test (or debugging the Driver itself during an integration test).

Or suppose someone simply wanted to launch a sim and make a tiny CLI over FBSimulatorControl to launch a sim of their choosing - they'd probably want to be able to resize it as is usual.

from idb.

We essentially fix the size by passing the value in the arguments as an NSUserDefault. If you need to resize, don't pass a scale value. Since the NSUserDefaults is shared by all Simulator apps it's not possible to initially override with an argument but allow the user to change it at runtime without shimming.

I think this is a wontfix so closing. If there's any other points that you think are important, please let us know.
