Appium Support with Xcode 8

Question

I had problems running the toolkit using Appium and Xcode 8. Recently, I found out that the apple removed automation from devices, due to which Appium (1.5.3) cannot work correctly. Anyone have a solution? Will it be fixed in Appium v1.6.0-beta1?

Answer 1

Yes, tools / UI Automation are no longer supported by Xcode 8, so Appium will not work with it. Now it should support XCUITest, which replaces UI Automation.

The Appium community is working on a new iOS driver - now it's the XCUITest Driver .

Benefits of the new XCUITest driver:

• , TvOS
• ()
• !
• !

:

• iOS 9.0

:

• appium git: git clone https://github.com/appium/appium.git2
• : $npm install
