从 Mac 中的 Appium Inspector 启动 iOS Simulator 时，计算器应用程序不会在 Appium Inspector 中打开

Question

I have been trying to launch Calculator app in Appium Inspector in my Mac Catalina using iOS Simulator but to no avail. I need to identify Calculator's actions/events to do some data driven testing. I was able to do so for Calendar using bundle ID com.apple.iCal but not so for Calculator with bundle ID com.apple.calculator. I am using below code: { "platformName": "iOS", "automationName": "XCUITest", "noReset": false, "deviceName": "iPhone 11 Pro", "platformVersion": "13.3", "App Category": "Utilities", "Bundle name": "Calculator", "bundleId": "com.apple.calculator", } I get below error in Inspector though Simulator loads(err attached enter image description here ):

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: App with bundle identifier 'com.apple.calculator' unknown I have tried putting "/Applications/Calculator.app" value in "app" key but it results in:

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Bad app: /Applications/Calculator.app. App paths need to be absolute or an URL to a compressed app file: The application at '/Applications/Calculator.app' does not exist or is not accessible

Could somebody please look into this issue?

I have MacBook Pro Mac OS Catalina

Many Thanks!

The Calculator app is unavailable on iOS Simulator.

If you experiment with testing, try a different app like Settings or Shortcuts (you can create shortcuts to calculate things).

If you need to test the Calculator app, switch to testing with real devices.

Good luck!
