i want to find elements in webview of native app by no safari.

Normally test excutes webview in app.

How do ?

if you talking about native app with webview check following:

  • your webView in app is debuggable. you can access it from Chrome (android) or Safari (ios) browser from mac/pc while phone connected to computer. (no = go to developer)
  • you have three ways now:
  1. with simple webview without scroll often you can find and interact with elements in native context
  2. with more complex webViews better switch to webView context. this can be done right on needed screen and then return to native context or using ‘autoWebview’ capability = true.

I don’t see webview element by appium inspector on ios

But I see webview element by appium inspector on android

I don’t want safari.
Only want App.

so what problem? if you cant find webview elements on ios as your developers to enable webView debug.

PS Safari browser was need only double check - is it Appium problem that it cant reach your app webView or not.

The saying problem is that can’t find elements in webview of Hybrid App.

I must test Hybrid App.

The Hybrid App isn’t made by me.
It is installed the Play Store and connect to bundleId by appium.

So i can’t find elements in webview of Hibrid App by Appium inspector.

But the way how find elements in webview of Hybrid App by Safari browser is test by Safari.

I don’t want it.

please let me know how to find elements in webview of Hybrid App by appium inspector.

ok. so if you cant reach your webView on iPhone with Safari = Appium will not make it also. no magic. Appium using same thing.

in most cases app downloaded from AppStore is release version where webView is closed.
