Hi,
- The SafariLauncher native app is built and it can be deployed to real devices (both iPhone and iPad) manually.
- Starting a new Appium based remote device session the SafariLauncher is uninstalled/reinstalled on the iPhone 6 and 6s Plus real devices (the same process fails on iPad).
- During the install phase some probably security/provisioning file related iOS error messages are added to the Appium log file which are raised by the real device
- Safari browser is launched on the real device and the default (hard coded in SafariLauncher) http://apple.com URL is opened.
- In the Appium log file repeated error messages are raised by the iOS – “Could not find any webviews yet, refreshing/retrying”. This seems to be a false failure because the properly loaded apple.com page is visible in the Safari browser on the real device.
- At test level any test fails because of the failed WebDriver initialization.
Test error:
Initialization method FirstAppium.BeamPoC.TestInit threw exception. System.InvalidOperationException: System.InvalidOperationException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Could not navigate to webview; there are none!.
We haven’t found the exact root cause of this this issue yet. Googling on the internet and analysing the log messages
(Appium, iOs level) the highest probability is that the provisioning file is still not perfect and the missing permissions
block the proper communication between the Appium server and the SafariLauncher(Safari) instance on the real device.
Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Best regards
Peter
