Hi everyone, wasn’t sure where to put this but maybe someone will find it useful.
On a real device it is not possible to simply call driver.get(“url”), doing so will open SIRI and query with “url” often resulting in a search. Instead we can take advantage of Safari’s launch parameters and pass deep link URL as argument.
Below is sample code in Java:
String deepLinkURL = "deeplink://";
//it is necessary to first kill safari
driver.executeScript("mobile: terminateApp", ImmutableMap.of("bundleId", "com.apple.mobilesafari"));
List args = new ArrayList();
args.add("-u");
args.add(deepLinkURL);
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("bundleId", "com.apple.mobilesafari");
params.put("arguments", args);
driver().executeScript("mobile: launchApp", params);
driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Open").click();
