Not close iOS simulator between tests

Hello !
It would be nice if we have a feature, that iOS simulator will not close between tests. I think re-install the app is enough.

Can we expect this feature?

Thanks

Could you try the noReset cap to see if it does what you need?

Almost! Cool!
The simulator does not restart if it is already run, but the app state is not reset. How can we reset app state or reinstall app without closing simulator?

@sebv what do you think about executing next commands between tests?
xcrun simctl uninstall booted com.myapp
xcrun simctl install booted myapp.app

For me, it seems like a dirty solution, but at the moment I don't see other ways to reset app state.
