Appium server udid vs device id install#

We should for sure install the WebDriverAgent-Runner on the device and also, because it's an iOS application, it's also required to be signed in. This is documentation from Appium and here are the desired capabilities. How can we know what the required capabilities are for physical devices?įrom a browser, we can search 'appium real devices', and here we can find XCUITest Real Devices from Appium. We don't need to change anything in the code because we will use the same application, but we need to add specific things for the real device.

So, let's add the desired capabilities and let's check what the required capabilities are for the real iOS devices, and then we can start. Then, we can start using our application. So I will open the Finder, 'Copy UDID' for my physical device and then after that, I can copy the Xcode organization ID and the signing ID also, which is my email or if I have a team. Then here in the test, I will need to change the application and I need to add the desired capabilities to be able to use this. I can copy the UDID, and then use it in my test case.įirst I will copy FirstiOSTest and create a new one for my physical device named FirstiOS_real_device_Test. If I click on the device with two clicks, I can find the UDID, so I can copy this. This is the iPad Pro, this is my device name, this is software that is installed - so I will use 14.4 with Appium. I can open the Finder here, and here, I will find my application or my device. We should add the udid - this is a device, so I should add the device ID.

Then, we can use it in the Appium session, but we also need to change the desired capabilities to be able to use it. So this is the application, but in this case, I flagged it with 'ios' to know this is for physical devices. I can copy this one and go to my apps folder and paste it here. In my application, I can change the name to UIKitCatalog-ios.zip, for example.

The build has succeeded, and this is the UI application, I will open the full path, and I will zip the UIKitCatalog by right-clicking and selecting 'Compress 'UIKitCatalog''. So, I will copy this application and try to install it on my physical device. Then, this will be the product under the Products folder - UIKitCatalog.app - and I will copy the product path because in this case, it will be a different product since it's a product for a physical device and the architecture is changed from a simulator to a physical device.

So for example, here, you can 'Download Manual Profiles' or 'Manage Certificates' for your account after you have added your account to XCode.Īfter that, I can start to build the application to be ready for building the physical device and then to be able to use the application in a physical device with Appium. This means that I already have a 'Signing Certificate' and 'Provisioning Profile' - if you don't have it, you should download it from Preferences after you have added your account. Here, I'm adding my account, this is the platform, and also I changed the bundle ID to be unique - for example, I added 'moataz' in this bundle ID, so it's ''. You can click on the application from the left pane and then in the 'Signing & Capabilities' tab, this is the Team, so you should select your account, and if you didn't add it yet, you can click here to add it or from Preferences > Accounts, you can add your account with an Apple ID if you have one. I will select the physical device, but first, you should check that you have already added the developer account and signing a certificate to be able to install the application on the physical device. Here you can find that all of these are simulators, but this is a physical device.

I already connected my iPad Pro device to the machine using a USB cable. We will open XCode and we will open the UIKit application, which we need to install on the physical device, and from the simulators here, we can select the iOS devices. In the next demo for iOS, we will use a real or physical device and we will check together what we need to add in the desired capabilities or how we can prepare our application to be able to install it on the physical devices.
