Summary

Makes the iOS functional test jobs (ios_test, flutter_e2e_test / flutter-ios) less flaky and less wasteful.

What was failing

In 13 failed runs of this workflow, the Android jobs passed every time, and at least one iOS job failed in every run:

• First session hangs (12 failures): the first webdriver.Remote on a freshly booted simulator either hit the client's 600 s read timeout (urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError on POST /session), or WDA failed with XCTDaemonErrorDomain Code=5 "Timed out attempting to launch app". Only the first session was affected; the next test's session usually started fine.
• Simulator boot never finished (3 failures): xcrun simctl bootstatus failed 4 of 4 attempts after about 30 min.
• setup-uv timed out (1 failure) fetching the "latest" version manifest.

Changes

• Set up Python, uv and uv sync before booting the simulator, and pin the uv version (UV_VERSION) in all jobs.
• Open Simulator.app after the boot instead of before it.
• Cap the simulator boot step at 20 minutes, so a stuck boot fails fast.
• Warm-up steps before the tests: install the prebuilt WDA and launch Safari once, then start and quit one throwaway Appium session (test/functional/ios/helper/warm_up.py), so WDA's slow first launch happens there rather than in a test. The warm-up uses the same 600 s timeout as the tests: giving up earlier would leave the server still creating that session, with the first test's request queued behind it. The step is continue-on-error.
• Retry once on WDA startup errors in the iOS and Flutter fixtures (create_session_with_wda_retry), for "Unable to launch WebDriverAgent" / "Unable to start WebDriverAgent session". The XCUITest driver ignores wdaStartupRetries with usePreinstalledWDA, and deletes the failed session before raising, so a client-side retry is safe. A client-side ReadTimeoutError is deliberately not retried: the server may still be creating that session.
• Raise wdaLaunchTimeout to 240 s, to give WDA more time to launch on a slow simulator.
• Keep one Safari session per test, so a session that fails to start only costs that one test.
• Add a read-only permissions: contents: read block and quote the python-version values.

Testing

• ruff check, ruff format --check and the unit tests pass; the workflow parses, and pytest collects the iOS and Flutter tests.
• The functional jobs themselves haven't run with these changes yet; the CI run on this PR is the first real check.

Walkthrough

The functional-test workflow pins uv, synchronizes dependencies, and changes iOS simulator preparation. Test fixtures use a helper that retries session creation once for selected WebDriverAgent startup errors.

Changes: Functional Test Setup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Python and uv setup .github/workflows/functional-test.yml	The workflow limits permissions to contents: read, pins uv to 0.11.32, and runs uv sync in the iOS and Flutter jobs. The Android job uses the pinned uv version.
iOS simulator preparation .github/workflows/functional-test.yml, test/functional/ios/helper/warm_up.py	Both iOS simulator preparation steps have 20-minute timeouts. The workflow starts the Simulator UI after preparation, installs the prebuilt WebDriverAgent, launches Safari, waits 15 seconds, and attempts to terminate Safari. It runs the WDA warm-up script with a 12-minute timeout.
WDA session creation and test configuration test/functional/test_helper.py, test/functional/ios/helper/options.py, test/functional/ios/safari_tests.py, test/functional/flutter_integration/conftest.py	The helper retries once after either recognized WDA startup error and re-raises other initial WebDriverException errors. The iOS WDA launch timeout is 240000 ms. The Safari fixture uses module scope, and both fixtures create sessions through the helper.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 0822e

The new iOS warm-up is meant to be best-effort, but a teardown error or timeout in it would fail the CI job and skip the functional tests. This adds a new failure mode to a PR meant to reduce flakiness. Making the warm-up steps non-fatal before merging would address it.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 0822e

The changes remain within functional-test execution and reduce repository-token authority. No new externally reachable service or privilege expansion was identified. Cleanup after interrupted or timed-out session creation depends on external Appium behavior that could not be verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The identified new state mutation affects the runner-local Appium session and simulator subsequently used by tests. A leaked or incompletely initialized warm-up session could interfere with later sessions in that job; the inspected path does not establish cross-tenant or production exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The warm-up reuses the existing environment-derived test endpoint. In the supplied workflow, host and port are fixed rather than taken from pull-request titles, bodies, or other request text. The server is explicitly bound to loopback, and the warm-up does not enable direct-connect endpoint switching.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Sequential workflow steps, bounded retries, and success-path quit limit overlap. However, session identity is acquired only after a successful server response. Timeout, disconnect, or interruption before that response leaves cleanup dependent on the external server; simulator shutdown is explicitly disabled in the workflow action. No verified security failure follows from this gap, but complete recovery behavior remains unproved.

What changed in this PR

Reduces iOS functional test flakiness in CI by reordering simulator/environment setup, warming up the simulator, and adding a safe one-time retry for Appium session creation when WDA startup fails.

Changes:

• Add create_session_with_wda_retry helper and apply it to iOS Safari + Flutter fixtures.
• Increase WDA launch timeout for iOS options and reuse a single Safari session per module.
• Update GitHub Actions workflow to pin uv, install dependencies earlier, cap simulator boot time, and add an iOS warm-up step.

File	Description
test/​functional/​test_helper.py	Adds a helper to retry Appium session creation when WDA startup fails.
test/​functional/​ios/​safari_tests.py	Uses the retry helper and switches Safari driver fixture to module scope to reduce session churn.
test/​functional/​ios/​helper/​options.py	Increases WDA launch timeout for slow CI simulator starts.
test/​functional/​flutter_integration/​conftest.py	Uses the retry helper for Flutter iOS session creation.
.github/​workflows/​functional-test.yml	Pins uv, moves Python deps install earlier, limits simulator boot time, and adds simulator warm-up steps.

Pin uv in the Android job.

The repository has no uv.toml or required-version setting. Without version, astral-sh/setup-uv@v10.3.1 installs the latest uv, so Android is not pinned to UV_VERSION and can use a different version from the iOS and Flutter jobs.

Re the two outside-diff Minor findings from CodeRabbit:

• Pin uv in the Android job: valid. The android_test job's setup-uv step doesn't use UV_VERSION yet. The fix will ride the next code push to this PR.
• Read-only permissions block: the workflow has no permissions block today, before or after this PR. This is a security setting outside this PR's scope, so I've left it to the repo owner to decide.

Warm up WebDriverAgent instead of Safari.

The warm-up installs WebDriverAgent but launches com.apple.mobilesafari. The first Safari and Flutter sessions therefore still perform WDA startup through Appium. Replace this Safari launch with a warm-up that creates and quits an Appium session using the same usePreinstalledWDA capabilities, so the warm-up exercises the startup path that can fail.

Re the outside-diff finding "Warm up WebDriverAgent instead of Safari": agreed, fixed in 0822e5b. I kept the Safari launch, since it warms Safari for the Safari tests. Both iOS jobs also get a new "Warm up WebDriverAgent" step that runs test/functional/ios/helper/warm_up.py. The script starts and quits one Appium session with the same usePreinstalledWDA options as the tests, using the same one-time WDA retry. If the warm-up fails, it logs the error and the step still passes, because the tests retry on their own. The step has a 12-minute timeout.
