Appium 1.8: Can we now switch between native app and iOS settings on a real device?

Kevin_Caasi · August 21, 2018, 10:31pm

I know that in the past, we could only open the iOS settings using a simulator. But I have been able to open the iOS settings page by using “app”:“com.apple.Preferences” in my capabilities list using a real device. However, I am testing an app and I’m not quite sure how to switch between them, or even if it’s possible. Can someone give me insights if this is now possible?

For background, I am trying to set iOS settings, and verify the changes in my app for testing.

Thank you, Mykola. Can you give me an example of how I would use this opening iOS device settings and going back to my app?
