Mobile Web automation on iOS real device – Safari

AmarnathRayudu · Jun '15

As there are a lot of us facing issues with Safari browser automation, I wanted to document the steps that
help the members to do the browser automation.

Pre-requisites:
a. Xcode installed on Mac OS X.
b. Device added to Apple developer program
c. Get SafariLauncher.app(https://github.com/budhash/SafariLauncher1.9k)
d. Launch the SafariLauncher.app on connected device from Xcode.
e. Install appium (IDE)
f. Download appium from github (https://github.com/appium/appium380)
g. Install ios-webkit-debug-proxy … use below command from terminal.
Install brew install ios-webkit-debug-proxy
a. Connect the device to your mac and verify the device is shown under Xcode
b. Launch the app on device from xcode
Open appium IDE, add your device details as mentioned in the below screen.

launch ios_webkit_debug_proxy from terminal
222222.png900x582 101 KB
Open new terminal window and navigate to your cloned appium source and
run the command ./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js -cUDID -d (This is workaround for dubug proxy crash)

Launch the appium from IDE

You are all set to run your test now.

Below is the standalone TestNG/java file to open google home page.

package vin.automation;

import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.ios.IOSDriver;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class VinWebTest {
AppiumDriver driver;
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

@BeforeClass()
public void init() throws MalformedURLException {
	capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
	capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone 5s");
	capabilities.setCapability("browser", "safari");
	driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),
			capabilities);
	driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

@Test
public void googleTest() {
	driver.get("http://www.google.com");
}

}

Please let me know if you face any issues, Happy coding.

Thanks,
Amarnath Rayudu

@AmarnathRayudu Are you able to continuously run SafariBrowser in iOS real device. Like some 100+ testscripts continuosly without any break/stall???

vvvvaib · Sep '15

Hi @Mobile_Test_Test ,
We are also doing automation on real device on iOS on safari, but test execution is not stable. We face issues with stale tabs which remain in the browser in case a script fails. Now we are facing an issue when we try to click an element which opens a new tab. As soon as new tab is opened we see an issue in appium server- The target application appears to have died. Do you have any idea about this issue ?

PavithraRavichandran · Oct '15

Hi All,

Can any one of you please let me know how to open the safari from Xcode ?

Thanks in advance!

Mukesh_otwani · Oct '15

Hi All,

I have gone through the above the Pre-requisites and I have done the same set up but I got stuck @ one step.

These things I have already done - SafariLauncher is installed via XCODE on IPAD Mini Air (9.3) and device is also connected using os-webkit-debug-proxy.

But when I am running test I am getting below exception

==================================================

info: [debug] Error: ENOENT, stat '/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/build/SafariLauncher/SafariLauncher.zip'

===========================================

Can anyone guide me here ??

Thanks & Regards
Mukesh

PavithraRavichandran · Oct '15

Hey @Mukesh_otwani, can you please tell me how to do that ? how to get the xcode project and launch it from xcode ?

Mukesh_otwani · Oct '15

Download XCode and Install it. After installation import the SafariLauncher in xcode and Run it.

Once build is successful, it will installed SafariLauncher in your device

yukonpd · Oct '15

Friends, I did all my setup. That is setting up Safari Launcher and webkit proxy as well. The problem is when I start the test Safari Launcher starts and opens up the browser but no URL launches. Just the apple.com page launches.

The same test runs well on Simulator.

mferturk · Oct '15

Hey @yukonpd, you should launch the url from your test scripts, not the SafariLauncher.
If you would like to change the first launched page from the SafariLauncher, you should open it with Xcode and change the Default Value of Root.plist

yukonpd · Oct '15

Thanks @mferturk for your reply,
I launched the URL from the test scripts itself, below is the snippet:

Web driver class{

  private WebDriver setMobileDriver(Map<String, String> selConfig) {

        DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
	String [] appiumDeviceConfig = selConfig.get("mobileDevice").split(":"); 
	cap.setCapability("deviceName", appiumDeviceConfig[0]);
	cap.setCapability("automationName", "Appium");
	cap.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
	String appiumServerHostUrl = selConfig.get("appiumServer");
	URL appiumServerHost = null;
	try {
		appiumServerHost = new URL(appiumServerHostUrl);
	} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
	cap.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
	System.out.println(appiumServerHostUrl);
	AppiumDriver driver=new IOSDriver(appiumServerHost, cap);
	
	try {
		Thread.sleep(30000);
		System.out.println("now entering url");
	} catch (InterruptedException e) {
		// TODO Auto-generated catch block
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
	driver.get("https://google.com");

Just to remind the same lines work on the Simulator, I have appium 3.1.0 version under my POM.xml. Just let me know if you need more info.

AmarnathRayudu · Nov '15

Please change the url driver.get("

https://google.com2

"); to

https://www.google.com/9

bhaskar123 · Nov '15

Hi Friends,

My mobile application is a iOS Native app. Please go through the below steps
1. After Launching the app there is a button called Forgot Your PIN
2. When we click on Forgot Your PIN button.
3. The application will redirect to a Safari Web page where I have the below fields.
4. Mobile Number, Last Name and Data of Birth Picker.
5. I am unable to tap or select Mobile Number field by using Tap feature of Safari browser using Appium Inspector.

So please someone help me how to tap or select Mobile number field of a browser.

Just to update thread, if anyone got same issue. Removed Passcode from setting and now running perfectly fine

crummy · Jan '16

Looks like SafariLauncher.zip is not present. Did you run ./reset.sh --ios --real-safari?

blago · Feb '16

Great tutorial/documentation!!!

I recently tried mobile web automation on real iOS device using the following:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
Xcode 7.2.1
iOS Device (9.2.1)
Appium (1.4.16)

More importantly, using a free ios development provisioning profile!

See http://goo.gl/nId1rr252 for more details!

Pracs · Feb '16

I have been trying to connect my iPad to mac over wifi to run the appium tests. I know how tests works with android devices over wifi, but not how to do it with iOS devices. Please update if any one has worked on how to get it done.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue as pintod02 above is experiencing. Since the update to Appium 1.5.2(which ironically, states in the bugfixes that it fixes this exact issue), it seems Appium is trying to reinstall SafariLauncher, rather than use the one already installed.

hi

you also need to use remotewebdriver when running web browser automation on real device(import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebdriver;

RemoteWebdriver driver =new RemoteWebdriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),
capabilities);

Hi

you also have to use selenium remoteWebdriver (import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;)

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap);

Hi All,

We have to perform automation on iOS real device. We have performed all the steps mentioned at the top but while running our test case, we are getting bad app error for safari launcher. It says safari launcher app is not present under appium.

How do we get that. We just installed appium and run the code.

We hit with the same error code 65 .. Please help

Hi yukonpd,

I am facing the same issue as discussed by you above.
Did you find a solution for that...........if so ..could u plz share the solution??

Thanks in Advance.

Sunny_Kumar · Jun '16

Hi AmarnathRayudu,

I did all the above mentioned setup but problem is when I start the test,Safari Launcher starts and opens up the browser but no URL launches. Just the apple.com page launches.

Could u plz suggest me some solution.

Thanks in Advance

PANDA · Aug '16

For anyone who is facing the issue as @yukonpd, @Hung_Pham mentioned. The safari launcher was able to launch safari browser but navigate url did not work.
I could resolve using autowebview capability. Here is what i do from java. Hopefully this will help.

capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID ,"*************");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/src/test/java/Library/SafariLauncher.app");

capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTO_WEBVIEW, "TRUE");

Can anyone elaborate the step "Launch the SafariLauncher.app on connected device from Xcode".
Actually how to do this?

mferturk · Oct '16

Hey @Rajlaxmi_Parida,

You should open the SafariLauncher.app in Xcode as a iOS application project after you download it from github (https://github.com/budhash/SafariLauncher).
Then you need to connect your iOS device to your computer and select as target device from Xcode.
Build the SafariLauncher.app on the target device from Xcode.
