Failed UI tests:

testCreateBlankPage() in PageTests
XCTAssertTrue failed (.../wordpress-ios/WordPress/UITestsFoundation/Screens/MySiteScreen.swift#EndingLineNumber=271&StartingLineNumber=271)

This one is known to be flaky. Retrying...

[dvdchr]

Succeeded after a couple of retries. Looks like we'll need to revisit testCreateBlankPage() again...

Anyhow, I'll go ahead and admin-merge this as part of the release process. 🙂
