new session in ios is very slow

[orevron]

The problem

after using the 'wd driver', driver.init() function i can see the app installed on the device and this is the last log from the appium, server:

[JSONWP Proxy] Proxying [POST /session] to [POST http://localhost:8100/session] with body: {"desiredCapabilities":{"bundleId":"com.capriza.approvalsapp.qaBeta","arguments":["-detoxServer","http://localhost:8099","-detoxSessionId","1111"],"environment":{},"shouldWaitForQuiescence":true,"shouldUseTestManagerForVisibilityDetection":false,"maxTypingFrequency":60,"shouldUseSingletonTestManager":true}}

and than the function stuck for 5.5 minutes minutes and finish with success.
it happens only on ios.

Environment

• 1.8.1
• MacOSX High Sierra 10.13.6
• Node.js version: 8.9.4
• iPhone X iOS 11.4
• simulator
• Appium.app

I'm not familiar with running with detox, but what about changing your test app to another app which doesn't need detox like test app in https://github.com/appium/appium/tree/master/sample-code/apps ?

https://github.com/wix/detox/blob/7650996f3c02c853c483421587f4d03d4a025fea/detox/ios/Detox/DetoxManager.m#L48

[Appium]   processArguments: {
[Appium]     args: {
[Appium]       0: -detoxServer
[Appium]       1: http://localhost:8099
[Appium]       2: -detoxSessionId
[Appium]       3: 1111
[Appium]     }
[Appium]   }

I wondered the slow is waiting for launching the test app with detox server.

Actually I already solved it by adding the
“waitForQuietness: false” capability.

@orevron I'm facing a similar issue, but I don't find anything about waitForQuietness in the docs what does this do exactly? I'm curious.

@mike-pt

ah, we should update the readme. will do.

[mike-pt]

ah cool, we are currently using mutliprocession to spin up multiple sims and split test cases, but we noticed init is very slow, and the more sims we create the more we noticed this...

I wonder if this will help a bit.

thanks
