Appium iOS- How can I go to Home screen

I have one doubt, above method will send the app in the background, but only for particular period of time which we will provide and in the process of sending app into background and then launching again after the provided time, how we will perform actions on homescreen between the process?

The -1 in the duration makes that it doesn’t goes back to app automatically

Test it:

driver.runAppInBackground(Duration.ofSeconds(-1));

This change is based on appium/appium-xcuitest-driver#381, which makes possible to minimize the application under test and then return to iOS springboard (emulates clicking Home button).

From https://github.com/appium/java-client/pull/59318

Great

Hi After using driver.runAppInBackground(Duration.ofSeconds(-1));, how to return to the same app. Can you please help

If you are using latest Appium/Java Client use:

driver.activateApp(bundle_id);

Hi how can I do the same process for Android,

driver.runAppInBackground(Duration.ofSeconds(-1));
is working for me to go Homepage but how can I back from home to my app in android? thanks

Exactly the same code as iOS, just use the android package name

Thank you for your response, with app package, it launches the app from the first point which required Login, I want to just back the same page as I left the app and see the prompt message.
Do you have any suggestion?
but with this

driver.activateApp ( “app package”, null );
driver.navigate ().back ();

it works now but I think there is another better way for it.
