Acces To My Webview on Hybrid App on ios real device (ionic 3)

[Thomas]

Hello,
I have some problems to access to my my hybrid app’s webview on my iOS real device (iPad).

Configuration Appium:
appium node: version 1.9.1 installed on Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.5
ios-deploy: version 1.9.4
ios-deviceconsole: version 1.0.1
ios-webkit-debug-proxy: version 1.8.2
libimobiledevice version 1.2.0
libplist :version 2.0.0

Configuration real device:
device: iPad
OS: version 11.0.2

Description of Application under Test:
My app is developed with Ionic 3, a framework based on Angular & Cordova. To use my app, my users have to launch my app from another app. This app is a native iOS App, it uses a deeplink to launch my hybrid app.
The process to use my app requires mandatory to launch my app from this native app.

Problem:
When I launch my app from the Native App with deeplink, the command of Appium lib (Python client) driver.contexts return only the native app context and not the web view expected from my hybrid app.

Can you please tell me if it’s possible to access to my web view context with Appium when I’m using this process.

This is a guess but it has worked for me in the past… Try starting ios-webkit-debug-proxy in a separate terminal window and then provide the port number it is running on to your Appium startup command… this is presuming that you are running the Appium server in its own terminal

Good Luck!
