Are you using Swift in your application? What Swift language version?

[LeoNatan]

Also, do you have Detox Instruments installed?

In case if you just have started a new project with Detox, there is a release candidate (16.8.1-rc1) available as a hotfix. @LeoNatan is working on a long-term solution.

Please try with 16.8.1.

[j320]

I confirm that the issue doesn't reproduce in 16.8.1 and didn't break Android either.

Great!
