Support

Hi Guys,

My simulator launching very slowly while executing.Is there anything i can do to launch fast?

Happens for me too , is any one facing the same issue?

Can you specify your config:
XCode ? (to know where are you building your app)
Simulator [iphone 5/5s/6 …]
iOS on the Simulator [7/7.1/8 …]
Appium ?

Also, how slow is slow? How long is it taking to start?

I can check if I got the same behavior

@Neto18

Xcode version : 5.1.1
Simulator : Iphone Retina (4-inch 64-bit)
Ios : 7.1
Appium: 1.2.0(Cygnus)

The time out 90sec, its’s failing to launch before timeout few times

@Neto18 @jagadeeshkotha: i did a test with xCode 5.1.1 vs xCode 6.1
Appium: 1.3.1
Have run the same test case on different xCodes + iOS

xCode 6.1 - iOS 8.1
Time: 4 mins

xCode 6.1- iOS 7.1.1
Time: 2 min 4 sec

xCode 5.1.1 - iOS 7.1.1
Time: 1min 20 secs

iOS 8 is very slow compared to other not sure why.
And some times it just timeout in between

Here are mine:
All on Appium 1.3.1

XC 6.0.1 + iOS 8.0
It took 45 secs, show the splash and then died. Error “App did not have elements”

XC 6.0.1 + iOS 7.1
It took 35 secs, show the splash and then died. Error “App did not have elements”

XC 5.1.1 + iOS 7.1
It took 55 sec, and worked fine

It seems like using launching the apps with XC6’s Simulator is not working fine for me right now.

Hopefully Appium 1.3.2 will have better XCode6 & iOS 8.* support.
