Appium 1.6.5 or above XCUITest not able to find the web views in my hybrid ios app

[SK-Samy]

The problem

Hi,
When I search AVAILABLE_CONTEXT in my hybrid mobile app(.ipa) in iOS real device, appium returns only "Native_context" where it is not returning my web_view. Earlier it was working with appium 1.6.3 not in 1.6.5 or above.

Environment

• Appium version : 1.6.6-beta.4
• Xcode : 8.2.1
• Mac Desktop OS: 10.11.6
• Node.js version :4.4.4
• Mobile platform/version under test: ios 10.0.1
• Real device : iOS Device connected to MAC
• Appium CLI : Appium CLI 1.6.6-beta.4

Details

In appium upgraded version, Not able to see the available context for "web_view" wherein earlier version it was working fine.

@mykola-mokhnach is there any solution?

[siggerzz]

Works fine for me on 1.6.3/4/5/6-beta.4

[SK-Samy]

@siggerzz can you please share your capabilities(appium.txt)

@EBtransversal

        caps.SetCapability("name", TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.Name);
        caps.SetCapability("deviceName", _deviceName);
        caps.SetCapability("platformName", _platformName);
        caps.SetCapability("platformVersion", _platformVersion);
        caps.SetCapability("environment", _environment);
        caps.SetCapability("autoWebview", true);
        caps.SetCapability("startIWDP", true);
        caps.SetCapability("xodeOrgId", "XXXXXXX");
        caps.SetCapability("xcodeSigningId", "iPhone Developer");

I imagine the ones that's of interest to you is the 'autoWebview' capability.

Hope it helps!

Can you try clearing the WDA Cache :
sudo rm -rf /Users/$USER/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WebDriverAgent-*

@EBtransversal if you run IWDP on its own, then launch your app and try to use Safari to attach to the remote debugger in your app, are you able to?

[jlipps]

@maxklimav like this: https://blog.idrsolutions.com/2015/02/remote-debugging-ios-safari-on-os-x-windows-and-linux/

[jlipps]

@maxklimav what that means is that something is either wrong with your system, device, or ios_webkit_debug_proxy. If you're not able to connect to the remote debugger on your real device using those tools outside of Appium, then Appium won't be able to do it either. I'd recommend looking for help with the ios_webkit_debug_proxy maintainers.
