I’m automating tests in iOS real devices using, but right now i’m stuck.
I need to:

  • open my app
  • do some work
  • launch safari
  • navigate to a website

I’ve been reading about to do this and so far i’ve only read that it can’t be done on iOS because of a limitation on apple’s framework, although most of the posts i’ve read are a bit old.

Does anyone have a way to handle this? Or can redirect me to a post in case this has already been answered :stuck_out_tongue:

This is what came up when I was looking for a solution for this. I couldn’t use it because it reset the session (and I needed the session), hope it does the job for you

	DesiredCapabilities newCapabilities = capabilities; //old capabilities
	newCapabilities.setCapability("bundleId","com.apple.AppStore");
	
	driver = new IOSDriver<>(new URL(hubURL), newCapabilities);
	driver.closeApp();

@tmateus do you need launch browser on phone? or maybe you can launch on machine where tests are running and check e.g. some email and took data from it?

If it resets the session it probably won’t work for me either. But i’ll give it a go. :slight_smile:
