Appium for iOS to have these changes for multiple simulator/app support?

[daluu]

I came across this today:

facebook/FBSimulatorControl

which was also mentioned at last Selenium conference.

Will this type of functionality be implemented in Appium at some point? I haven’t really used Appium so far but last I recall it can only handle one iOS simulator/app at a time if I’m not mistaken.

I asked this same question 5 days ago, but no reply:

Anybody have experience with FBSimulatorControl?

Long time lurker, answerer, first time poster. Wanted to know if anyone out there has tried to use FBSimulatorControl, source found here: This open source tool bills itself as, “A Mac OS X library for managing, booting and interacting with multiple iOS Simulators simultaneously.” It’s something I’m interested in knowing more about, & will be exploring but I just wanted a little insight into what others have done with this. Many thanks, -W

Good to know wreed, should have checked before sort of duplicate posting.

I asked same on ios-driver forum. The developer responded he tried to do similar before but not succeeded, and welcomed any help in the area.

So still new territory I guess.

If I get time & make any headway I’ll post here, but I’ve got a lot on my plate at work right now.

Cheers,

Hey guys,

With Appium 1.6.0 now supporting XCUITest, does that mean that this is now supported through Appium with some tweaking?
