Usage

Blacksmith is used to automatically generated simple App Store screenshots for multiple localizations.

1. Add Blacksmith to your UITest target & import Blacksmith

import Blacksmith
import XCTest
import SwiftUI

class ForgeUITests: XCTestCase {

2. Create a testX function for each screen/locale that you want to create an image of

    func testScreenshot_AddElementToLayoutBuilder() throws {
        let app = XCUIApplication()

3. Specify a language that should be used for the export

        app.launchArguments = ["-AppleLanguages", "(en)"]
        app.launch()

4. Navigate to the screen that should be exported

        let window = app.windows.firstMatch
        window.outlines.buttons["🛠 Layout Builder"].click()
        
        let addElementButton = window.toolbars.buttons["Add Element"]
        addElementButton.click()

5. Create a screenshot

        let screenshot = app.screenshot()

5. (A) Use the quickExportWithTitle function on screenshot

You can either use quickExportWithTitle directly on the XCUIScreenshot or follow step 6 and 7

6. Setup a Capturing View

        let exportSize = ExportSize.mac
        let capturingView = ScreenshotWithTitle(
            title: "Create your own image layouts.", 
            image: screenshot.image, 
            background: .color(.blue),
            exportSize: .mac
        )

7. Choose a location to export the image

        let url = FileManager.default.homeDirectoryForCurrentUser.appendingPathComponent("result.png")
        exportMarketing(image: capturingView, toURL: url)

8. Clean up

        app.terminate()
    }
}

Full Code Example:

import Blacksmith
import XCTest
import SwiftUI

class ForgeUITests: XCTestCase {
    func testExample() throws {
        let app = XCUIApplication()
        
        app.launchArguments = ["-AppleLanguages", "(en)"]
        app.launch()
        
        let window = XCUIApplication().windows.firstMatch
        window.outlines.buttons["🛠 Layout Builder"].click()
        
        let addElementButton = window.toolbars.buttons["Add Element"]
        addElementButton.click()
        
        let screenshot = app.screenshot()
        
        let exportSize = ExportSize.mac
        let capturingView = ScreenshotWithTitle(
            title: "Create your own image layouts.", 
            image: screenshot.image, 
            background: .color(.blue),
            exportSize: .mac
        ) 
        
        let url = FileManager.default.homeDirectoryForCurrentUser.appendingPathComponent("result.png")
        exportMarketing(image: capturingView, toURL: url)
        
        app.terminate()
    }
}
