How to restart app on iOS Physical device without quitting the driver?

[crisnieto]

Hi, I’m running Appium tests in feature scenarios (cucumber ruby) on iOS Physical devices, and I would like to understand if its possible to just restart the app without calling the driver_quit or start_driver between each scenario. I would like to mantain the same driver session between each test.
Thanks!

Thanks. I managed to find the ruby equivalent: close_app and launch_app.

Sadly, I didn’t find these methods on the ruby lib docs.

Thank you!
