[QUOTE="Lysanne Kulas, post: 2406, member: 21"] On Android it's possible since apks can be easily unpacked and there's a plethora of tools like UiAutomator. On iOS the story is different. I haven't been successful yet in automating an iOS device yet (I am too poor to have the new ones here lol). An option you have instead is to use a tool like Sikuli. [HEADING=2][URL='http://sikulix.com/']RaiMan's SikuliX[/URL][/HEADING] sikulix.com What tools like appium and uiautomator do is that they hook up with GUI internals of the operating system and drive the interaction process (identifying elements, clicking them etc). What sikuli instead does is it automates a desktop screen by "taking pictures" and then using image recognition to find the elements. So what you can do is you can jailbrake your iOS device to install a VNC software and connect it to your desktop. Then you can click elements on your desktop screen with Sikuli which will automate the ui on the iOS device. It's slow, but it's the only working workaround that I know. [/QUOTE]
