Detox: UI not updating during longPress
13:02 26 Jan 2026

Using expo / react-native I have a feature on my app where a user would maintain touch on part of the UI for up to 35 seconds. During this period the UI updates.

When I build Detox tests running on the iOS simulator (26.2) the UI isn't being updated until the Pressable or Touchable event ends.

Is there a way to update the UI during a longPress?

Many thanks in advance.
