WebDriverAgent is a WebDriver server implementation for iOS that can be used to remote control iOS devices. It allows you to launch & kill applications, tap & scroll views or confirm view presence on a screen. This makes it a perfect tool for application end-to-end testing or general purpose device automation. It works by linking XCTest.framework and calling Apple's API to execute commands directly on a device. WebDriverAgent is developed for end-to-end testing and is successfully adopted by Appium via XCUITest driver.
- Both iOS and tvOS platforms are supported with devices & simulators
- Implements most of WebDriver Spec
- Implements part of Mobile JSON Wire Protocol Spec
- USB support for devices is implemented via appium-ios-device library and has zero dependencies on third-party tools.
- Easy development cycle as it can be launched & debugged directly via Xcode
- Use Mac2Driver to automate macOS apps
You need to have Node.js installed for this project.
After it is finished you can simply open WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj and start WebDriverAgentRunner test
and start sending requests.

WebDriverAgent depends on the following third-party frameworks:
These projects haven't been maintained in a while. That's why the source code of these projects has been integrated directly in the WebDriverAgent source tree.
You can find the source files and their licenses in the WebDriverAgentLib/Vendor directory.
