Why

On iOS, locator.fill() / locator.clear() cleared fields with cmd+a + backspace. With the devicekit-ios 0.0.33 agent, the first key combo after a field gets focus is dropped, so only backspace arrived and one character was deleted ("Glorpax" → "Glorpa", then "Failed to clear element"). Related: #275.

What

• Bump mobilecli to 1.0.20, which installs devicekit-ios agent 0.0.34. That agent adds a clear key to device.io.keys (feat: clear key in device.io.keys sends the HID keyboard clear to wipe the focused text field devicekit-ios#101): it sends the HID "Keyboard Clear" usage, which wipes the focused text field in one event, the same way WebDriverAgent does.
• clearText() on iOS now sends ['clear'] in both driver-mobilecli and driver-mobilenext. Android is unchanged (ctrl+a, backspace).

Cloud devices using driver-mobilenext need agent 0.0.34 or newer for this to work.

Test plan

• Unit tests and lint pass
• Milliways iOS tests on an iOS 26.5 simulator with agent 0.0.34: every fill() / clear() step passes
• Mobilenext cloud devices (needs agent 0.0.34 deployed)

Not fixed here: "leaving without saving keeps the old profile" in Milliways still fails when it runs right after a test that saved the profile. device.clearAppData() doesn't reset UserDefaults on the simulator, which is a separate issue.

Walkthrough

Both mobile drivers now use the clear key for clearText() on iOS. On other platforms, they continue to send ctrl+a followed by backspace. The mobile CLI test now expects the iOS clear key, and the mobilecli dependency changes from version 1.0.19 to 1.0.20.
