After we finish installing Appium, and then we will install Appium Desktop, and then we will run appium-doctor again, and check what is still missing in our prerequisites, and start installing them. Now, it's time to go to the Appium Desktop to install Appium Desktop.
Appium Desktop is, as we mentioned, a server and the inspector together and a desktop application or GUI application for Mac, Windows, and Linux. We can click on the "Releases" and click on the latest release and then you will have different images or different versions. After the file is downloaded, we can double-click or start installing the Appium desktop on our machine. You need to drag and drop the Appium application into the Applications folder and we need to wait for.
After we install Appium, now we can open the launchpad and search for Appium and click on the Appium icon to open the Appium Desktop application. This is Appium 2 because I have an already existing version of the Appium desktop in my Applications folder. Now it's opening, and sometimes we face this issue that Appium can't be opened by Apple because it could be malicious software.
This is a well-known issue with Appium Desktop so if you face this issue, just do this workaround to be able to open the Appium desktop. So now here we have the Appium desktop open, and from this button "Start Server", we can run or start the Appium server on our local machine. Here the server is running and the Appium restful server is now listening to this port on the localhost, and this is the default port for the Appium server.
As we mentioned, Appium Doctor verifies the dependencies are set up correctly on our machine, and to be able to work with Appium after that, we can start Appium from the command line or from the Appium desktop as a server. We will wait until Appium Doctor finishes all the diagnostics and checks all the necessary and optional dependencies for Appium.
For the optional dependencies, we don't have opencv4nodejs , which will be used for image comparison, and also something for handling the iOS devices. For example, I can go to this link , and here we can find that OpenCV is used for image comparison features. We should install ideviceinstaller - this is a tool for managing apps on iOS devices.
Another one is ios-deploy , which is for installing and debugging iPhone apps from the command line without using Xcode. Here you can just check the usage options - for example, getting the ID of the device, detect, bundle, the environment, and all the things that you want to use.
For example, you can run ios-deploy --debug --bundle my. Now we already have ios-deploy and ideviceinstaller, so let's also install ffmpeg with npm. Course Code. Apple Developer. Appium Desktop. Install the built app usually now located in a build directory specified in Xcode to your test device yourself, ensuring it exists on the device and there are no signing issues. There are a number of methods for installing apps onto devices. One is to just use Xcode itself. Another is to use the ideviceinstaller tool provided as part of the libimobiledevice suite.
A third is to use ios-deploy. Here's an example for ideviceinstaller :. Following these steps should ensure your success! If you're using newer versions of Xcode 7. For hybrid and web testing, Appium requires the use of the Remote Debugging Protocol to send JavaScript to execute inside a web view. For real iOS devices, this protocol is encrypted and access must be facilitated using a 3rd-party tool, provided by Google, called ios-webkit-debug-proxy IWDP.
For web testing, i. On real devices, apps that are not signed by the developer cannot be instrumented with UIAutomation. Safari is one such app. Thus we have a helper app called SafariLauncher , which can be signed by the developer. Its sole purpose upon launching is to turn around and launch Safari, which can then be automated via the Remote Debugger in conjunction with IWDP. Unfortunately you cannot, in this case, move into the native context and do any automation of the browser itself.
