I am new to iOS development. I want to perform a simple text to speech conversion within app.
Following is my code:
AVSpeechSynthesizer *speechSynthesizer = [[AVSpeechSynthesizer alloc]init];
AVSpeechUtterance *utterance = [AVSpeechUtterance speechUtteranceWithString:#"Test text to speech conversion"];
[utterance setRate:1.1f];
[speechSynthesizer speakUtterance:utterance];
The above code is not giving me any exception but its not working at all. I've tried multiple APIs given on GitHub but nothing worked for me.
Could anybody tell me where I might be going wrong? Do I have to make any settings on device?
It's not working because of the Mute mode of your phone. To turn 'Mute On' in iOS 7, you have to follow the following steps:
Go to your Setting option
Go to Accessibility
Go to AssistiveTouch
Turn on AssistiveTouch option from the switch button
Then a Moving Assistive icon, will appear on you device screen.
Touch on it to expand with more options
From there select Device and Touch Un mute option.
Now run the project and hope it will work.
P.S: (In iOS 8.0 this code wouldn't work, because for an unexpected bug, from iOS8.1 they remove it and it is now working perfectly)
Hope it works. :)
Problem sorted..!! Actually the problem was, I had "USE SIDE SWITCH TO:" option in the Settings->General set to "Mute". I set that option to "Lock Rotation" and got rid of my problem. I found a related post here discussions.apple.com/thread/5366534

I've taken over the work on an iOS app, I've managed to work quite well with it thus far adding new functionality despite not being a trained iOS developer. However I've hit a patch where I simply cannot get the keyboard to show on screen when I tap on a UITextfield, there are areas of the app where it works but any new areas I add this simply will not work. Is there a standard bit of code that controls showing the keyboard when you tap a text field?
Need help
Keyboard opens up automatically unless you forced to not open.
You can check following, See screenshots.
Enable is checked
User Interaction Enable is checked
If you are checking on simulator try “command + k” from keypad
textFieldShouldBeginEditing delegate returns TRUE
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
return TRUE;
}
Are you running on a simulator or a real device?
So I'm testing a web app for which I have to open a new tab, switch to it, do some input, than switch back to the first tab and this more than once.
I try to open the new tab this way:
((JavascriptExecutor) AppiumTestBase.getDriver()).executeScript("window.open('http://google.com', '_blank')");
This causes the following alert to appear:
But I'm not able to accept it through automation with Appium. Things that I have tried:
Using the following capabilities: "safariAllowPopups" and "autoAcceptAlerts"
Changing the according settings for safari in the iOS sim
.switchTo().alert().accept(); I also waited for the Popup.
Switchting to native context before accepting the popup
Clicking the pop up by name .findElement(By.name("Allow")).click();
What I have not tried:
Taping on the screen according to the pop-up coordinates. I didn't try this since I'm not sure on how to get the position of the "Allow" button.
And my other question is how would I switch between two tabs? I haven't tried anything yet, but research would suggest that I try it with window contexts.
Some other information:
Currently testing with a iPhoneSE iOS 9.3 Simulator, the solution should work for several configurations
Appium is on the most recent version
The class "AppiumTestBase"s only purpose is to set capabilities and initialize the AppiumDriver
Please try this cap after i change to this no popup from safari anymore
desired_capabilities=automationName:XCUITest,browserName:safari,platformName:iOS,platformVersion:11.1,deviceName:iPhone 6,nativeWebTap:True,safariIngoreFraudWarning:True
I tried the solution suggested by Atthaboon Sanurt, but it didn't help.
There was no alert, but the new window/tab didn't open either.
Here where the problem is reported:
https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/6864
So far it looks like there is no solution and plans to fix it.
I was creating a simple app in Xcode 8.1 with swift 3 and I got this problem (picture): dashes under buttons symbols.
How can I fix this issue?
Thanks.
So Nirmit dagly (https://stackoverflow.com/users/3401707/nirmit-dagly) has given the exact solution and it works perfectly.
He says: "You need to check button style on your iPhone device's setting. To check please go to General -> Accessibility -> Button Shapes. If it is enabled, then make it disable and run the app again. It'll hide the underlines from buttons."
I do thank him for his helpful answer and I has republish it here for the benefit of others.
Thank you again Nirmit and I prefer if we can get other independent solutions(not linked to the parameters of the phone user.).
I have devoleped a simple iOS app and on test using Appium all the UIControls staus is shown as visibility false. The below image is the screenshot of the test. I set accessibility label on storyboard
The code I wrote for a simple textfield is given below.
self.txt_txt.isAccessibilityElement = YES;
self.txt_txt.accessibilityElementsHidden=NO;
I have done a little R&D on this and haven't found anything keep 'visibility ' true for UIControls.How to keep visibility true in the above case.If not in code are there any other scripts to run?. Any thoughts are welcome.
I believe this is a bug when using iOS8, based on the information shown in the Appium bug database here:
https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/4131
Looking at the last comment to this bug, it seems that in iOS7 elements are correctly identified as "visible: true", but the same ones in iOS8 are not.
As far as I understand it, at the moment it's not yet clear if this is a bug in Appium or in iOS8.
We are using a BT device, which acts as a keyboard, to talk to the iPad.
We want this bluetooth device to talk to 1 field in our app. (Which is on it's own view)
All other textFields/areaFields we want to display the virtual keyboard.
Is this possible?
Whenever the BT device is paired it disabled the on screen keyboard.
We thought of turning bluetooth off before the view with the 1 field that needs its input from the device is displayed and then turning it back on when the view is removed, but this has 2 problems. The iPad will not automatically connect to the device and there is no way to turn bluetooth off without using private API's.
This is a related question:
Force on screen keyboard to show when bluetooth keyboard connected
that has not yet got a satisfactory answer.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Phil
Erica Sadun found a way of bringing back the keyboard by sending a GraphicsServices event. Post: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/06/02/hacksugar-bringing-back-the-on-screen-keyboard/ see link to source code. Sending GSEvents might not be AppStore ready, but maybe worth a try.
Phil,
I'm not sure if you've discovered the External Accessory Framework but that is probably your best bet to get what you're after and have an app that will be accepted in the store. I'm currently working through some similar issues and I think this is how I'll be able to detect which of our supported devices the user is using.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ExternalAccessory/Reference/ExternalAccessoryFrameworkReference/_index.html
EAAccessoryManager looks like it may give you back a list of attached devices. That's exactly what I'm looking for. It should allow me to then take the correct path to connect to the devices.
This may give you back what you're interested in...
#import <ExternalAccessory/ExternalAccessory.h>
- (void)_getAttachedDevices;
{
EAAccessoryManager* accessoryManager = [EAAccessoryManager sharedAccessoryManager];
if (accessoryManager)
{
NSArray* connectedAccessories = [accessoryManager connectedAccessories];
NSLog(#"ConnectedAccessories = %#", connectedAccessories);
}
}
Hope this helps.
