Solved ios automation xcode7 ui-automation xcode-ui-testing

Can I execute UI Tests on a physical device? I have tried a few approaches/combinations with target/scheme but I am not able to run it on a device and I am getting no errors either.

You have to enable Enable UI Automation at Settings / Developer

(maybe a restart is needed, as usual) :-)

Thanks @Flori. It is now working. Might have been the new xcode version – Mithraism 1/2, 2016 at 15:9

Yes you can. What is the real issue and what have you tried so far?

You should be able to run the test simply by selecting your device from the device menu

then running your test by clicking the arrow by your test

Also, make sure your UI Target is pointing to your app:

This is what I have done so far: 1) My UI Test target is: MyUITests 2) Created a new scheme and linked to my UI Test Target (MyUITests) 3) When I select that scheme using the Run button nothing really runs on my device and I just get a "Build Succeded" (device is selected) 4) When I select that scheme using the Test button nothing really runs on my device and I just get a "Test Succeded" (device is selected) Not really sure what step I might be missing – Mithraism 14/12, 2015 at 17:31

@jonnycage what device are you using with what iOS, and what version is your xcode? And does your test run fine on a simulator? – Guayule 14/12, 2015 at 17:50

I am using an iPhone 6 running iOS 9.2 and the latest xCode. Yes the tests run perfect on the simulator – Mithraism 14/12, 2015 at 21:10

@jonnycage You don't need to create a new scheme. Select your Debug scheme or your regular one then make sure your MyUITests target is pointing to that target as Application Target. – Guayule 14/12, 2015 at 22:34

I'm seeing this issue as well. I believe it may be a bug with 7.2. – Pga 15/12, 2015 at 0:13

@ApopheniaOverload I did have this same problem before as well when I installed 7.2 beta. This problem went away for me when I updated my device to 9.2: #34184765 – Guayule 15/12, 2015 at 1:15

Thanks @JamesGoe. I got it running on the device. Restarted my phone and my mac and all worked. Although none of them pass (they all pass using the simulator). On the device I am getting "UI Testing Failure - App accessibility isn't loaded". Any ideas? – Mithraism 15/12, 2015 at 11:33
