how to get setup using XCode/Appium using Appium.app

Question

I am trying to automate the test cases in real apple device using appium but not able to do so. Need help to setup the appium from appium.app not from terminal to test real apple devices.

Answer 1

There are currently issues with the current release of Appium.app (1.2.0). You cannot use Appium.app alone to run Appium.

• You need to install Appium via Source or Appium-version-manager
• You need to install XCode
• You need to install XCode's command line tools

Follow these setup instructions.

Then follow these instructions to get the application ready for testing.

After that, run a simple test in your language of choice. Examples here

Once you get that working on the simulator, you need to prepare your application for testing on a real device by archiving the Application into an .ipa file signed with a Development certificate that contains your target device's UDID.

THEN, you can supply the udid and deviceName arguments to Appium server/desired_capabilities as defined in the desired_caps document.
