There are also a number of environment variables that can be used when running
the tests locally. These include:
REAL_DEVICE - set to anything truthy, makes the tests use real device capabilities
_FORCE_LOGS - set to 1 to get the log output, not just spec
PLATFORM_VERSION - change the version to run the tests against (defaults to 9.3)
XCCONFIG_FILE - specify where the xcode config file is for a real device run (if
blank, and running a real device test, it will search for the first file in
the root directory of the repo with the extension "xcconfig")
UICATALOG_REAL_DEVICE - path to the real device build of UICatalog, in case
the npm installed one is not built for real device
