Each one mentions iospharo with a link to the repo, includes repro steps
against stock images, and proposes a fix.
The iPad pharo project created a headless test runner that doesn't seem
headless to the image. It allows test scripts to invoke menus and capture the
visual results. Without this testing involved scanning a real screen and
faking mouse clicks, which was very slow and didnt work well. I think it would
be useful in extending Pharo testing into the visual area.
See https://github.com/avwohl/pharo-headless-test
For the other iPhone discovered issues I will do more work before asking for
any upstream change.

Hi,
This is nice :) I tried it fast and the result is interesting.
For the issues, you could first check if they are still present in Pharo 14
since it will probably get released in a few weeks.
I think most of them will not have been fixed but we never know.
If they are still present in P14 do not hesitate to open issues on the Pharo
issue Tracker. Maybe they will not been fixed fast because we have a lot of
things in the tracker, once a month some Pharowers are getting together to fix
some bugs and they could get picked during one of those sessions (next one is
next friday)
Good luck and have a nice day!
