Disabling waiting for idle state in UI testing of iOS apps

Question

Basically the problem is the same as this one: XCTestCase: Wait for app to idle

I am using perpetually repeating \"background animations\" in my views. The !@#$#$&@

Answer 1

I used h.w.powers' solution in Objective-C, in case anyone needs it.

For setting up:

XCUIApplication *app = [[XCUIApplication alloc] init];
app.launchEnvironment = @{@"UITEST_DISABLE_ANIMATIONS":@"YES"}; 
[app launch];

and then in your code

if ([[[NSProcessInfo processInfo] environment][@"UITEST_DISABLE_ANIMATIONS"] isEqualToString:@"YES"]) {
// do something like stopping the animation
}
