How to get Bundle Id of your app iOS UIA automation

Question

How do I get the bundle Id of the app I am in ?

Answer 1

You'd use:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]

+ mainBundle "[r]eturns the NSBundle object that corresponds to the directory where the current application executable is located." and hence will return an NSBundle object for the application bundle.

[- bundleIdentifier] Returns "[t]he receiver’s bundle identifier, which is defined by the CFBundleIdentifier key in the bundle’s information property list."

Answer 2

Here is how I got the Bundle Id for my APP in the UIA Scripts:

//code to get bundle id
var target = UIATarget.localTarget();
var app_name = target.frontMostApp().bundleID();
UIALogger.logDebug(app_name);

Answer 3

You can findle the bundle id from the plist. Right Click in the app file and click on "show package contents". You will find a plist file there. Open it with any text editor and you will get the bundle id.
