Criteria for finding BitBar device - The search criteria that TestComplete will use to find a mobile device to connect to if the exact device specified in the test is not available. To set the criteria, click Edit iOS criteria or Edit Android criteria correspondingly and specify the desired criteria in the resulting Edit Criteria for Finding Device dialog.

These criteria are only effective if:
- The Connect to another device when the selected one is not available check box is selected in the Run Remote Device operation, or in the Connect to Device or Select BitBar Device dialog.
– or –
- In script tests, the Mobile.ConnectDevice method has the bitbar_findDevice capability set to true.
New command timeout - The number of seconds that a connected mobile device waits for an action over it. If there are no actions before the timeout elapses, the testing session on the device will be closed and the device will be disconnected.

Note: This does not affect exploring the tested mobile applications by using the Object Browser and Object Spy. The device will remain connected until you disconnect from it explicitly.
