How to confirm system alert like allow notification

Question

If the app is installed at the first time, need to allow notification, how can I confirm it? Is someone encountered?

Answer 1

you should typically be mocking notifications and other data requests in order to prevent the dialogs from coming up. You could also accept the notification manually and re-run your tests. We experimented with using the private UIAutomation framework for this and saw we could achieve this with it. For example, for pressing the left alert button.

@interface SystemAlert : NSObject
- (void)tapLeftButton;
@end

@interface SystemAlert (ForMethodCompletionOnly)
+ (id)localTarget;
- (id)frontMostApp;
- (id)alert;
- (id)buttons;
@end

@implementation SystemAlert

+ (void)load {
  dlopen([@"/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/UIAutomation.framework/UIAutomation" fileSystemRepresentation], RTLD_LOCAL);
}

- (void)tapLeftButton {
  id localTarget = [NSClassFromString(@"UIATarget") localTarget];
  id app = [localTarget frontMostApp];
  id alert = [app alert];
  id button = [[alert buttons] objectAtIndex:0];
  [button tap];
}

@end
