Mobile app no need to Install & Login every time

Support
1

Hi Guys,

I am working on Mobile app automation. In my app Login, View contacts, My profile view… available.

I wrote TestNG classes.
Ex: Installation(@BeforeSuite), Login(@Test priority=1), ViewContacts(@Test priority=2), MyProfileView(@Test priority=3)

If i run the app
Each & Every time Installation, Login Methods/functionality going on.

If app not exists in the device need to do all functionality, else app already exist in the device no need to Installing & Login.
Directly execute the remaining methods, like ViewContacts, MyProfileView

Please help me. How to implement…

Thank’Q
Jo

Hi Jo,

In your Login() method you can place a condition to check if App is installed or not using AndroidDriver method “isAppInstalled(bundleID)”, if this method returns true then App is installed and you need not install it again.
Also, you can check Appium settings, if you have selected FullReset or NoReset. Selecting FullReset will install the App each time. You can keep NoReset selected in Appium settings.

Thanks,
Sujata

So i need to check the NoReset right?

How to right “isAppInstalled(bundleID)” method?
How to fine BundleID.
Can you give simple code for this.

Hi Jo, Which app do you currently wants to automate…?
If it is IOS app,BUNDLE ID must be in your Mac, go to XCode ->window->organizer->applications->click on …it
Otherwise , go to search -> iphone configuration utility->applications->identifier(as Bundle id), in that you may found it.

For real device Bundle id must be given, and for simulator App path should be given.

Hi Jo,

Please try with app-package (e.g. com.test.app) and check, I have not used this method (isAppInstalled) so far.

Thanks,
