XCode - https://developer.apple.com/xcode/

Android emulator ID

cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools
emulator -avd <emulatorName>
adb devices

IOS simulator ID

iOS simulators --> ("iPhoneSim" InteliJ IDEA configuration Run)

simulator UDIDs:

For real devices follow the instructions in HowTo.txt file

How do I run tests?

If you want to specify a specific Appium server you can use:

  mvn clean test -P appiumAlreadyRunning -Dtest=<testClassName> -Ddevice=androidsim -Ddevice.id=emulator-5554 -DpathToAppFile=<pathToAppFile> -DappiumServerURL=http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub

You can specify which device type to use by using one of the following switches:

-Ddevice=android
-Ddevice=androidsim
-Ddevice=iphone
-Ddevice=iphonesim
-Ddevice=ipad
-Ddevice=windows

If the tests fail screenshots will be saved in ${project.basedir}/target/screenshots

Selenium Grid support

remoteDriver - Connect to a selenium Grid (e.g. Sauce Labs).
gridURL - URL for the selenium grid you want to connect to.
appiumVersion - The version of Appium required to run the tests

Additional information for setting up iOS Devices

Read https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver for XCUITest support, the brew commands below have been taken from their README.md.

brew install libimobiledevice --HEAD
brew install carthage

If things don't work, check https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver to see if anything has changed

You will need to place a appium.xcconfig in the ${project.basedir}/src/test/resources directory.

Devices used for performing tests need to be added to https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/device/ Machines running tests will need to download a test certificate from https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/certificate/development (Do this via Xcode)

In iOS8, devices each have their own setting which enables or disables UIAutomation, It lives in the “Developer” view in the Settings app. You need to verify that UIAutomation is enabled in this view before the simulator or device can be used.
