"Automation Running Hold both volume buttons to stop", how to loose this grey transparent overlay message on iPhone screen while testing using Appium - ios

I am testing an application on iPhone real device using appium.
I always see a grey transparent overlay message on the screen which sometimes interferes with the automation script execution. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Details:
iOS version used: iOS 15.1
Appium Server GUI: 1.22
Appium inspector: 2021.9.2
Xcode: 13.1

I figured out that it's just an overlay and doesn't effect the automation script while running. You just have to increase the brightness to be able to see the screen clearly.

Appium Server GUI: How to add a Desired Capability criterion to wait for splash screen to disappear before the AUT starts?

I am new to desktop UI automation and am currently using Appium with WinAppDriver, coding in C# on the Visual Studio 2022 Pro IDE.
I have a splash screen that launches the app. This splash screen lasts for about 4-5 seconds.
So, when I launch Appium Server GUI to inspect elements on my app, Appium registers the splash screen first, so I can't get past it.
How can I tell Appium desktop inspector to ignore the splash screen?
I tried the following, but they have no solution that I can use:
https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/issues/1481
Appium test not going any further after Splash Screen
I'd appreciate a way to set this in the Appium desktop inspector UI, as a setting for ignoring splash screen.

Raspberry Pi 3 + official touchscreen display app just shows black screen on DP6

I've connected the offical touchscreen display via DSI to my Raspberry Pi 3 running the latest Android Things developer preview.
While booting the android things logo shows up and afterwards the new DP6 settings appear just fine.
When I install an app via adb the screen stays black and no suspicious log message shows up.
In DP 5.1 I had no problems with this.
Also tried running this example:
https://github.com/androidthings/sample-simpleui
Furthermore maxing out the screen brightness with the ScreenManager didn't help.
Any ideas?
Reflashing the image with the Android Things Setup Utility fixed my issue.

iOS simulator showing black on 3/4 of screen

I tried several apps running in fresh install (yosemite) of Xcode 6.3 simulator but all of them displays only on first 1/4 of simulator screen.
I changed scaling - did not help.
All devices have this problem.
On another mac the apps are displaying in simulator correctly.
Here the screenshot from simulator:
I frequently have this issue with a VMWare OSX development machine I'm using to develop iOS native apps. From what I've seen it is related to the Window > Scale menu option being set to something different than 100% from a previous launch that messes around all the subsequent initialization phases.
To get rid of it, try doing this:
Exit from VMWare full-screen mode, switching to windowed mode instead.
launch iOS Simulator using its stand-alone shortcut (not from XCode) and wait until it finishes loading/booting the default device.
go to Window > Scale and set it to 100%.
go to iOS Simulator > Reset contents and settings... and click OK.
close and reopen the iOS Simulator using its stand-alone app (not from XCode).
As soon as you see it loading without the glitch, you can switch back to VMWare full-screen mode and also use the Window > Scale as you like.

Blur effect disappears when testing flash app on iOS5 device

with Flash Professional CS6 I build an iOS app (AIR SDK 3.4.0.2710). This app features a MovieClip with blur effect applied with AS3 code. No problem when I run this app in the Flash simulator. But, when I test the app directly on a device (iOS5), the blur effect disappears.
Any help is appreciated!
I FINALLY SOLVED: it seems when using GPU rendering mode the Blur effect (and any other flash.filters.* package effect) can't be easily rendered in iOS:

BlackBerry - 9860 shows app in small window - not using whole screen

One of our clients has come back to us today with a bug that has been found on the Torch 9860 (running OS 7.0).
It seems my app is running in a small box in the centre of the screen, with a big blue border surrounding it. If the soft keyboard is not showing, there is a black box where the keyboard would be.
This issue has not been reported before on other devices, and the app has been "in the wild" for a while. I have not seen it on our test devices - but do not have a Torch 9860 to test with.
I have attached photos of the app running on the device. The blue border is the problem - normally my app would fill the whole screen. I did not create the blue border (to the best of my knowledge).
Apologies for the photos - this is what they sent to us.
Showing the app running in a small box surrounded by the blue border. Note the black space where the keyboard would be if it was required.
Showing the app with the soft keyboard visible.
With some googling, I found 1 possible reference to this issue to do with an instant messaging app not showing correctly on 9860. Feedback was that they were looking into it.
I wonder who else has seen this, or can recommend solutions?
Updates
runs fine on the 9860 emulator
seems to be mentioned in this thread: Blackberry OS 7 Compatibility failed with 9860/9850 device
Thanks, Rafael (left answer in a comment to my question).
Based on the comment I told the client to run the app in compatibility mode (accessed through the system options - application options menu). This seems to have fixed the problem without me having to recompile for SDK 7.0 (also I don't have to start supporting multiple OS's yet).
I already had the blackscreen on bottom when the keyboard should be popped. But it happened rarely and get resolved with an update of the Blackberry
Ask for the OS version/platform of the Blackberry, and propose a update to him, if available.
