Unable to change iOS phone language with Appium Automation

Question

I'm evaluating some tools for UI test automation for iOS. One of my key requirements is to be able to change the phone language. I'm currently looking at Appium. However, I can't seem to find a way to change the language of the physical phone or emulator. Is there a way to do this with Appium?

Answer 1

You can set the server flag --language en when starting from console: node . --language en node . --language en or directly from the Appium GUI

Answer 2

Just to be clear, it's currently not possible to automate the iPhone settings app. Best to use the simulator instead where this is possible.
