如何让Appium定位到真正的iOS设备与模拟器设备

Question

I am running on Appium 1.7.2 and using a iPhone 6s on 11.2.5 OS. I am trying to create a simple test to target a real iOS device vs a simulator but each time I run the code Appium / xCode will open a simulator and use that instead of the real device.

How do I get appium to use the real device. I have tried supplying the UUID of the device without luck.

Thank you,

Gradle

    compile group: 'io.appium', name: 'java-client', version:'6.0.0-BETA2'
    compile group: 'org.seleniumhq.selenium', name: 'selenium-server', version:'3.8.1'
    compile group: 'org.seleniumhq.selenium', name: 'selenium-remote-driver', version:'3.8.1'
    compile group: 'org.seleniumhq.selenium', name: 'selenium-java', version:'3.8.1'

Java Code

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone 6s");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "11.2");
        //capabilities.setCapability("app", "https://s3.amazonaws.com/appium/TestApp8.4.app.zip");
        capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "Safari");
        capabilities.setCapability("uuid", "26deaa8eb5003b3d56a561ada2fcff2174b00df1");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceOrientation", "portrait");
        capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "safari");
        capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");

Answer 1

If you want to run Appium/XCUITest on real device, follow this guideline

The reason why appium takes simulator is that you did not provide xcodeOrgId & xcodeSigningId capabilities:

{
  "xcodeOrgId": "<Team ID in apple dev account>",
  "xcodeSigningId": "iPhone Developer"
}

You might face XCUITest xcodebuild exited with code '65' , so follow the guide/search on stackoverflow how to fix setup manually.

Good luck!

To test ios real devices , below capabilities are required

  app=${app}    
  version=${version}    
  platform=${platform}    
  deviceName=${deviceName}    
  udid=${udid}    
  platformName=${platformName}    
  newCommandTimeout=2500
  name=${name}    
  automationName=${automationName}    
  xcodeOrgId=${xcodeOrgId}    
  xcodeSigningId=${xcodeSigningId}    
  usePrebuiltWDA=${usePrebuiltWDA}
