Support
1

Hi Team,

I am setting up Appium on Mac machine for IOS app automation using Java as client library. Below are details configured.

OSX: 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
IOS: 8.0
XCode: 5.1.1

I have given required credentials in the IOS settings of Appium and initiated the server. It didn’t install app on the device although device has provisional profile.

Please find below log -

@Appiium_Master: I appreciate your response and its valuable. Thanks for sharing this.

Earlier I did all , one thing I did mistake. Without launching server I initiated the execution (sample script) and thrown error. After seeing your Video , I was able to catch my miss. I am able to successfully launch “Settings” page from IOS simulator.

I have couple of questions , please provide if you have solution in hand.

QUESTION 1: Before seeing your video through help , I did all IOS configurations. I didn’t remember whether “IOS Simulator” poped up when Appium is launched firstly. Today I have observed no simulators are listed in Appium which are showing in Xcode. I did remove Appium couple to times and did install into Applications but no use. Is there any reason why Appium is not showing IOS simulators.

Do you know how to completely remove Appium from Mac?

QUESTION 2:
I am trying to install our QA App on IOS Simulator using below code and thrown error org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: Instruments crashed on startup) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 45.63 seconds

Code in the TestNG class:
public static IOSDriver driver;
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(“platfromName”,“iOS”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platfromVersion”,“7.1”);
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”,“iPhone Retina (4-inch)”);
capabilities.setCapability(“app”,"/IOSSetupDownloads/Builds4.3/XXX.ipa");
driver = new IOSDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(180,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.quit();

QUESTION 3:
Same app i was trying to install it on physical device (iPhone 4S which has OS 8.0)
code mentioned below :
public static IOSDriver driver;
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();capabilities.setCapability(“platfromName”,“iOS”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platfromVersion”,“8.0”);
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”,“XXXXXXXX”);
capabilities.setCapability(“udid”,“XXXXXXXXXXXXXX”);
capabilities.setCapability(“app”,"/IOSSetupDownloads/Builds4.3/XXXX.ipa");
driver = new IOSDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(180,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.quit();

I am seeing below error , could you please support me in this regard

QUESTION 3:
I am successfully configured Android and running mobility test scripts on Android device without any issues. I have one doubt regarding Appium server launch.

In your video also you first invoked manually Appium server and then executed test script from Eclipse. My requirement is , before initiating test suite I want Appium to be launch programmatically from the code and then proceed to above code. Once suite execution is completed I want to close server programmatically. Do you have code / url / video to demonstrate this , please share me.

QUESTION 4: I didn’t see your channel information in the video to subscribe. Could you please provide the same?

Thanks for your help !!!

Regards,
Kiran

I did research on this , found solution to install HomeBrew using below command line. I did Homebrew installation using below command but same issue experienced. Do you have any insight on this?

ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”

Hi Group ,
I appreciate anyone help here , IOS setup and run condition is critical for me.
