Autotests iOS applications (Appium / iOS / Java).

The steps below guarantee the successful launch of autotests for your phone and application.

But I do not exclude that some steps may be superfluous, maybe I myself installed something in surplus :)

Installation

Device (iPhone)

1. Install the application server on the phone WebDriverAgent
2. Add a valid distribution certificate
3. Select the WebDriverAgentRunner scheme -> Real Device -> Build (⌘B)
4. Connect the phone and run the tests. Open Product -> Test (⌘U)

MacBook (terminal):

$ brew install node
$ npm install -g appium@1.7.2
$ npm install npm@latest -g
$ brew install ideviceinstaller
$ brew install carthage
$ npm install -g ios-deploy

To check the correct installation

$ appium-doctor

All components must be successfully installed and marked with a green mark, except for Android components.

• Build the project in Java / Python or other languages that support Appium / iOS (do not forget to install the libraries: apache, selenium, appium)
  • In the project add information about the connected phone (name, udid, version, platform) and the path to the assembled application that will be tested.

Everything is ready to test your application:

1. On the phone, a test (active session) must be started. WebDriverAgent
2. In the console execute: appium --session-override
3. Build and run the project
4. Done, enjoy autoscrolls and autoclicking :)
