One of the benefits of Appium is that I can run tests against the app without compiling in any instrumentation. But, there's a feature I want to turn off in my app when Appium is the user.
How can Appium can send information directly to the app, to tell it that Appium is driving? This needs to happen shortly after launch, so hiding a secret switch somewhere is not a good option.
You can use the processArguments capability to pass application launch arguments through Appium to your application. Inside your application you can read the launch arguments and values using NSUserDefaults.

I’m experiencing with issue when trying to clear my app data to start a new test class. When using an Android driver, resetApp() works just fine, but for iOS it just seems to close the app and launch it again, without actually clearing the data. Here, I can’t use removeApp() because the device, it does not allow me to install the app.
Could you please guide me? Execution is effecting to daily run through Jenkins.
I want to know how to make an iOS application run at startup.
I've encountered the method of UIBackgroundModes, but it isn't relevant anymore and required compiling with an older SDK.
Also I've read about the PushKit framework, but it seems to be that the application will be launched upon an event occurrence and not pro-actively.
Is there any way to make the application run at system startup pro-actively (not as a response to some event occurrence) ?
I am trying to launch ios app from python script/terminal using ios-deploy. This is a test app so it might crash and need to relaunch multiple times.
I want to check if this app is currently running or not on the connected device, for my relaunch logic to work. But I am kind of stuck here.
I know idevicesyslog which can capture logs and then parsing logs I can check if my app is currently running or not. But isn't there any sophisticated way to just check if an app is currently running or not in device. Xcode/instruments can get the list of processes via GUI in connected device but I want a command line utility so that I can take certain action.
You can check app or debug app using safari.
Open safari.
And If develop option not available on top navigation bar then open preferences of safari and in advance tab tick show develop option in below that screen.
is there any way to remove app from background using Appium in Windows.
What i want is
- Start server with -No reset
-Run the program
-Program ends
-driver quits using driver.quit() method
Now when i start my test execution again , the app on which i was earlier working is there in the memory.So i have to press "Home" key and remove it from memory and then start working on it. (e.g. if i am working on messaging app of device , after test execution i press "Home" hardkey and manually remove the app as follows)
Please help me how to do this
You have to use driver.closeApp() before driver.quit().
Please see this link with the different appium methods provide app control.
I'm using appium to automate some tests but I want the application under test to return to the same start in between tests. I think that the easiest way to do this would be to close and reopen the app. Is this possible with appium? If so, how?
(Note: driver.close() does not work)
You can do this with driver.quit(). You will need to reconnect but as long as the server is launched with the --no-reset switch it should boot up in the state where you left it.
You could also background the app as an alternative using executeScript with "mobile: background" (see https://github.com/mutualmobile/appium/commit/53f0c58857eec512f48732d40ace71b7db4ae32f) or calling the UIAutomation command directly with executeScript. (e.g. au.background(5)) for 5 seconds in the background.
