I have an app. There is a button in the app, which, if clicked, exits the app. I am testing the app using UIAutomation instruments. I want to test this button. But after the app exits, the instrument stops giving an exception. What I want to do is that after the app exists, I want to reopen the app and continue with the rest of the test. Have anyone else been in the same scenario? If so, can you please share the solution, if you have found any? This is not possible because Instruments loses the connection with the app process once it quits. If you are scripting UI Automation from the command

I know starting from Xcode 4.2 it is possible to run UIAutomation scripts through command line. I've tried this and is working perfectly fine for me in simulator. I'd like to know how to get this run in an actual device.I searched and got the command for running on device as, instruments -w <device_id> -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate application -e UIASCRIPT script -e UIARESULTSPATH <results path> What exactly should I give in the application , is it the path to ipa or

Our iOS automation tests on simulator have gone through disaster since upgrading to Xcode6. We can observe view switching slowing down, UIAutomation felt it too and often returned an empty or not fully updated app main window, you can imagine the stability. Part of the reason is that we have slow VMs, but still we need to find ways to workaround it. Then I notice there's the CoreSimulatorService process staying alive between the launches and shutdowns of simulator. So I killed it to see what change would it make: killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService After it was killed and

I want to automate Settings app. It should automatically: open Settings app; turn on Wi-Fi; connect to given network by providing SSID and WPA . My questions are: Is it possible to automate any inbuilt app using UI Automation? Does the Apple/iOS security model preclude any such access to inbuilt apps? If it is possible, how to achieve this? I know I'm late to the party, but I'd like to provide a more complete answer and elaborate on my solution. I run my uiautomation from shell scripts, here's my solution.. (You'll

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm new to UIAutomation. Am using Xcode4.5, trying to record commands on my iPad 3 running ios6. When I click the record button, it just hangs on 'Starting Capture...'. I had this problem initially when trying to run on the simulator and was able to solve it using. sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer. Can't seem to get it working on my device. Do the accessibility settings need to be set a certain way? I have multi-tasking turned on. When I try to run a script, nothing happens. No errors or anything. Totally stumped. Make sure
