+- Under \`platforms\` write the OS version as \`osVersion\`, unquoted (\`osVersion: 14.0\`; not \`platformVersion\`, not \`"14.0"\`): with any other spelling the SDK still runs the tests but App Accessibility records no scans, without a message.
+- When the run ends, the SDK prints the build id as \`testhub id: <id>\` (also the id in its automation.browserstack.com/builds/<id> link). Read the issues with \`fetchAccessibilityIssues\`, \`buildId: <id>\`; it waits while the report is still processing and links the report on the App Accessibility dashboard (https://app-accessibility.browserstack.com/automated-tests).
