Hi,
I’m trying to run Appium desktop app with an iOS simulator, for running web application on Safari from a testNG test.
Environment:
Appium Desktop: Version 1.3.0 (1.3.0)
Xcode: 7.3.1
Mac OS: 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
Script:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, “iPhone 5”);
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, “iOS”);
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, “9.3”);
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, “Safari”);
URL url = new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”);
AppiumDriver driver = new AppiumDriver(url, capabilities);
driver.get(“https://www.google.com/”);
When I start the Appium session, the simulator starts and opens Safari, but after the Appium timeout (90 seconds), kills the simulator process. Then Appium launches another instance of itself, starts the simulator again, kills it, and repeats this cycle until I force-quit all the Appium processes.
[HTTP] → POST /wd/hub/session {“desiredCapabilities”:{“browserName”:“Safari”,“deviceName”:“iPhone 5”,“platformName”:“iOS”,“platformVersion”:“9.3”},“capabilities”:{“desiredCapabilities”:{“browserName”:“Safari”,“deviceName”:“iPhone 5”,“platformName”:“iOS”,“platformVersion”:“9.3”},“firstMatch”:[{“browserName”:“Safari”,“platformName”:“ios”}]}}

I went through a lot of your forum issues, but couldn’t find a solution to resolve this issue.
I do have UIAutomation enabled on the emulator.
I’m not sure what went wrong. Can you please help me fix it.
