Not able to identify element in WEBVIEW in iOS hyprid app(build in Ionic) automation using Appium on real device

Hi Suraj,

Launch the safari browser in mac PC in menu you should have Develop options.
Click on the Develop option in that list it should list the your device.

Select your device -> web page. (it show's only if web page is open in phone). you will able to locate the web elements.

If you don’t see the Develop menu in the menu bar, choose Safari >
Preferences, click Advanced, then select “Show Develop menu in menu bar.”

Look for how to switch the webview and you need to run the ios_webkit_debug_proxy.

Hope this will help you.

Check capabilities settings.

browser Name Safari but you gave IOS and it should be platformversion not the plaftormName.
problem may be with capabilities.

Try to print the webview before switching after switching.

Try with out setting this capability. and make sure that your are running the webkitproxy server
capabilities.SetCapability("autoWebview", "true");

can you copy paste all the capabilities? may be your making mistake in that.

Hope you are using the hybrid app ? try adding this cap.
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
capabilities.setCapability("automationName","Appium");

What is the advantage of having private obj ?
private IOSDriver driver = null;
private DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

yes its compulsory, Read the document carefully provided by Appium.

Hi all,

I am also facing the same issue. Unable to switch to Webview from Native app in IOS. Scroll in IOS also not working.
Doing IOS automation with xFramium tool+Appium+IOS.
{
“deviceName”: “iphone X”,
“udid”: “**",
“platformName”: “IOS”,
“platformVersion”: “11.4”,
“bundleId”: "”,
“automationName”: “XCUITest”
“browserName”: “Safari”,
“startIWDP”: “true”,
“autoWebview”: “true”,
“absoluteWebLocations”: “true”
}

xFramium-Appium capabilities

<!--  DEVRY MOBILE APP -->

<capability name=“appPackage” class="STRING”>
<capability name=“bundleId” class="STRING”>*
true
false

Could anyone help out from this issue.
Thanks

Hi All, did anyone get the solution for the above issue? I have everything latest in place. Appium, ios_webkit_debug_proxy, appium drivers, etc. After I start ios_webkit_debug_proxy, am able to see the device in the session list and if I try to open the app, I am not able to see the webview part in the session to inspect. Instead I am seeing the elements as XCUITestInputField, XCUITestInputSecureField (for password), etc. Is this the expected behaviour or will I be able to see the html part of the code? Please help me to solve this issue, if I am really missing anything important.

here’s my capabilities

IOSDriver driver;
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.SetCapabilitiy(“app”, appPath);
caps.SetCapabilitiy(“bundleid”, “com..*”);
caps.SetCapability(“autoWebView”, “true”);
caps.SetCapability(“browserName”, “iOS”);
caps.SetCapability (“platformVersion”, Constants.PlatformVersion);
caps.SetCapability(“deviceName”, deviceName);
caps.SetCapability(“startIWDP”,true);

driver = new IOSDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),caps, TimeUnit.FromSeconds(10000));

In the appium log I am able to see only NATIVE_APP Context but not the WEBVIEW. Please help.
