When developing on a single screen and Nova (and VS Code?) I like to have the editor in full screen mode so when I hit Run it would be better if the simulator would come to the foreground.
I just looked in to this and the Simulator itself can't force itself to the foreground if another app is in full screen mode. I'm not sure if a script could do it from Nova/VS Code, would be worth trying out.
To clarify, I meant the editor is sized to cover most of the screen but it is not in full screen mode. So it should be doable. Thx
I’m using the Nova editor (on a Mac)
Ah, I see that if the console window is displayed only it comes to the foreground. If it isn’t, then the simulator does come to the foreground!
Seems like a bug. But now that I know what to avoid, I’m good.

I see now how it can get confusing. Normally the console window is not displayed so the sim is brought to the foreground correctly. However, if there is a crash in the game then the console window is displayed. So, the next time I run the app only the console is brought to the foreground.
What is the best way to report this bug for Nova?
This isn't really a bug, but normal macOS window interleaving behavior. That said, we have a request in our tracker about always bringing the main window to the foreground in cases like this.
