How to get App name in UITesting swift 4 iOS

But it gives me the nil value result.

Did you set DisplayName from project setting of your APP?? – Coahuila

Answer 1

Are you sure, that you've set Display name in your Info.plist file? Just set this name in Project settings or in Info.plist:

Grandparent

Yes. Already have added this in info.plist of UITest of Xcode. But its not working. – Audiogenic

You should add this to Info.plist of your main app target, not in Testing target.. You sure you add this to your main target? – Grandparent

Answer 2

When I was trying to find out if the 'debugDescription' provides any information about the actual app (and not the test app) I stumbled across a label that looked exactly like the app's display name.

I don't know if it helps you, but the following simple line of code helped me:

XCUIApplication().label

Exercise

Unfortunately it will only work if your app is running, no? – Easting

@FlavioBittencourt Yes. But if you store that name in a let constant, and then terminate the app, and then use the name you will be fine – Normandnormandy

Answer 3

I am getting app name in UI test like this:

let app = XCUIApplication()
// ...
let appName = app.label

Selfassertion

Answer 4

Try to go to File > Workspace Settings if you are in a workspace environment or File > Project Settings for a regular project environment.

Then click over the little grey arrow under Derived data section and select your project folder to delete it.

And Product > Clean. It helps in many situations.
