Test on latest iOS minor versions

If you are using BrowserStack SDK, you can set the following capability within the browserstack.yml file:

platforms:
  - platformName: ios
    platformVersion: 18 latest-1

Use the following code snippet to enable passcode protection:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "ios");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "18 latest");

var capabilities = {
    "platformName" : "ios",
    "platformVersion" : "18 latest",
}

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("platformName", "ios");
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("platformVersion", "18 latest");

desired_cap = {
    "platformName" : "ios",
    "platformVersion" : "18 latest",
}

capabilities = {
    "platformName" => "ios",
    "platformVersion" => "18 latest",
}

desiredCapabilities.setCapability("platform", "ios");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("os_version", "18 latest");

var capabilities = {
    'platform' : 'ios',
    'os_version' : '18 latest'
}

capability.SetCapability("platform", "ios");
capability.SetCapability("os_version", "18 latest");

desired_cap = {
    'platform': 'ios',
    'os_version': '18 latest'
}

desired_caps = {
    'platform' = 'ios',
    'os_version' = '18 latest'
}
