I noticed that more often than not, we don't see the actual error in `logcat-failed.log` when the test fails on CI, but when it runs locally, we can see the issue logged properly. I'm not 100% what causes it on CI, but I suspect that we might be facing a problem with the logcat buffer wrapping around and overwriting the interesting data. This might be because of the fact that `logcat -c` runs only once per **class** containing tests and also because we log too quickly after the app quits. To remedy the former, run `logcat -c` before each test starts and to attempt a fix for the latter, pause for 1 second before dumping logcat buffer after the test fails.
