I am using xcode 7.2, macos 10.11, appium version 1.4.16…

The simulator run test much slower than android.

Anyone know the reason and how to speed it up?

Can you tell me your environment? xcode version, mac os version?

My Setup:

  • iOS 9.2
  • Xcode 7.2
  • Appium 1.4.13

When you build, did you point to the right version of simluator? i.e. 9.2 in your case? I had the same issue when I pointed to, i.e. 9.1 but i launch a 9.2 simluator and hence I see no increase in test run performance

Pay attention to this when you ./build.sh

SDKROOT = iphonesimulator9.1

Thanks a lot Alan! it works for me now.

By the way, I noticed that in appium github project, there is a instruments-without-delays submodule.
https://github.com/appium/appium/tree/master/submodules

does it mean that this work around has been integrated with the new appium?

i tried but seems no luck. lol
