The goal is to view the UI elements for my app and write automation test scripts in Eclipse. I could not get the UI elements from XCode 8 since it doesn’t have UI Automation anymore (discontinued after XCode 7).
The solution I am expecting is for either the problem mentioned below OR detailed steps on how to view the UI elements for an iOS app similar to Android’s UIAutomator. Steps on how to set the desired capabilities properly for an iOS app in Eclipse to view the UI elements would be fantastic or even how to view the UI elements in XCode 8!!
I was trying to follow the steps mentioned here:
When you click on Appium Inspector, I get the error, “Could not remove ‘’ from device”. The exact appium logs are below. I tried a bunch of methods:
- Installed ideviceinstaller
- Tried the solution from here: Unable to install the application on Real Device using appium
- Tried to install other apps onto the device, and got the same error, “Could not remove ‘bundle id of the app’ from device.”
Appium logs:
