Change timezone of simulator

[puelocesar]

Description

On Xcode, I can change the TimeZone of the simulator by going to "Edit Scheme -> Run configuration -> Arguments Tab -> Add Environment Variables" and add TZ as the iOS env. But I could not find a way of doing that on Detox, the only thing I found on the documentation was launch args, which is a different thing.

Is there a way to achieve this with Detox? I tried several ways of passing TZ, but none worked

Your environment

Detox version: React Native version: Node version: Device model: OS: Test-runner (select one): jest / other

@asafkorem any idea?

Hey @puelocesar, If you refer to the user's current local (NSLocale.currentLocale) we don't currently have such a feature, but I believe it won't be very complicated to implement, if we'll swizzle the current locale within Detox. Not sure how it can be implemented on Android (@gosha212 / @d4vidi ?)

Anyhow, it's very likely that we won't do that, since that's something that can be mocked within your app easily. Just make a date/time provider (which can be a soft wrapper for your current provider) in your code and mock it. You can use launch-arg as a parameter for the mocking.

In Bitrise and my local machine works fine compare Dates with iOS So for iOS i don't need change the timezone.

But using Android in my Local machine is in UTC Should i use something like this? adb shell setprop persist.sys.timezone "America/New_York"
