I merged the PRs that added e2e tests for all environments. They are disabled at the moment but it would be great to get them running to ensure we don't regress anywhere. If you think this are to much to maintain we can also remove them.

Great stuff, thanks a lot!

I’m fixing all tests now, will update some best practices and provide as much context for why people could do it this way to most of the tests.

When that is done I’ll look at the rest and will try to keep it stable 😂

If you have time, can you please check if you can follow what I am trying to explain here? Webviews are complex and I want to make sure users understand them a bit better.

Very insightful, the documentation makes sense to me. I wonder if we can move some of it into the project docs. It would be cool to have a section on Mobile Testing and add these type of docs in them.
