ios-ui-automation

I am using UIAutomation, through Instruments from Xcode, to do something on iPhone, and got a weird exception: UIATargetHasGoneAWOLException. Anybody know what does this exception mean? I've found that this occurs when certain unknown conditions exist AND an iPhone is connected to the computer. Disconnecting the iPhone will solve the problem. Unfortunately, I don't know what the "certain unknown conditions" are, because a connected iPhone device doesn't automatically result in this exception. But I do see that disconnecting the iPhone is sufficient to prevent it. I found this article that

I am evaluvating Appium for my iOS automation testing. As a part of that, I am able to successfully execute appium element inspector when I choose my device target as iPhone simulator. But I am not able to invoke element inspector when I target real device. I have signed my app with a development provisioning profile and I am able to install and run my app from Xcode 5. So my app setup looks okay as I am able to run my application. Then I configured all the details in Appium.app GUI like bundle id, device etc... and started the appium server and inspector. When inspector is launched, my app is

My iOS app has a log-in page with username and password textfields. These text fields are in a web view. I am trying to automate the log-in process with UIAutomation . I know that working with content in a web view with UIAutomation is tricky. I am able to tap into the text fields using target.tap({x:100, y:200}); but I want to have UIAutomation enter text after the field has been tapped. How can I achieve this? Felix You can do something like: Get the reference to the webview var webView=window.scrollViews()[0].webViews()[0]; Tap the textView that you want to edit: webView.textFields()[0].tap

How does one set an accessibility identifier on a custom section header view in a UITableView? For background, since logging the element tree of a table view inside UIAutomation produces a flat list of table cells (UIATableCell instances) intermingled with table group elements (UIATableGroup), being able to identify groups makes it easier to identify the cells that belong to those groups (since they are returned in order). If I set an accessibilityIdentifier explicitly on a custom view that gets returned as a section header view, I can confirm that the accessibilityIdentifier property is

I am using XCode 8 and XCTestCase. I created a class setUp function to be ran once before all tests, and the other setUp to be ran before each test case. I want the application to be launched once before all test cases. If I use the launch in the class setUp, it never gets executed. If I use the launch in the setUp that is ran before each test, it does launch the test. It prints: IN CLASS SETUP END CLASS SETUP IN SETUP IN TEST METHOD But the application never gets launched. If I uncomment the line to launch the application in the second setUp, it will get launched. How can I have the
