iOS测试和UITests混淆

Question

When I create an iOS AppTests and AppUITests target, i see some difference.

• AppTest target setting has an extra option "Allow testing host application APIs", But AppUITests target has no such option. So what does it do and why they are different?

• AppTests target does not ask for any provisioning profile, but AppUITests targets give error if provisioning profile is not set. I know "Automatically manage Signing" might fix this issue. But i don't want to allow Xcode to upload some bundles, certs & profiles into my Server on its own (to be clear whats going on). I need to know why its asking for AppUITest but not for AppTest. Is it because UITests need real device installation?

How can I get rid of this extra bundle id, profile management hassle for AppUITests target?

Guidance will be appreciated.

Answer 1

From last few days I am also searching such type of things . There are two type of testing

1. Unit testing
2. UI testing

Most probably you already awared from this two types.

For your first point see below image provide by WWDC Video ,

Unit test use Host App that means your app coding during the testing time. But UI testing UI test bundle is loaded into Target app which is different from the Host app.

As I done R&D here

• Testtests is for unit test file and,
• TestUItests is for UI test.

For 2nd point I don't have idea because I never tried this.

If you got some better result then me Please update me too. Thanks.
