So, while that may be how paramedic right now was designed, that's actually
counter-productive when working with appium. Appium will actually select the
correct emulator (and even start it for you) based on the `platformName`,
`platformVersion` and `deviceName` capabilities you provide. These capabilities
apply regardless if you are running the test locally or on Sauce Labs.
I think, moving forward, for a paramedic refactor I am gathering use cases
for / noting issues to address, we would want to expose the appium/selenium
capabilities more completely. This would also reduce the difference between
local test executions and executions on Sauce Labs, by allowing Appium to worry
about managing the emulator, rather than managing it in paramedic.
I will change the instructions back, but just a heads up that I think we
should change this behaviour in the future.
