When adding entities to a virtual device configuration they are all available from the Add menu in the virtual device setup dialog. The virtual entities can be used for abstract access to device entities of different device types. This tool defines some virtual device entity types with simple single-value read and write functionality. The ID is a 40 character hexadecimal string. This ID can be seen in the iTunes application by navigating to the device summary and clicking the serial number. When running on a simulator it is sufficient to supply the name of the simulator to run on, but to run on a real iOS device the ID of the physical device must also be supplied. The settings of the app can optionally be reset before starting the test to get a clean and well-defined start point for the test. The iOS package can also be a zipped archive instead of a complete. Please note that the iOS package for a real iOS device is different than the iOS package for an iOS simulator, this is because the simulator is running x86 code while the iOS device is running ARM code.

Next, either the iOS package to install and run or the BundleId of the already installed app to run must be specified. The specific iOS automation engine can also be specified, but it is also possible to just un-check the value and let Appium select the appropriate one.Īs a rule of thumb iOS versions before version 10 use the Appium engine, while version 10 and later use the XCUITest engine. Because the Appium server is running remotely on a Mac, the IP address or hostname of the Mac must be specified.
