I have been trying to launch Calculator app in Appium Inspector in my Mac Catalina using iOS Simulator but to no avail. I need to identify Calculator's actions/events to do some data driven testing. I was able to do so for Calendar using bundle ID com.apple.iCal but not so for Calculator with bundle ID com.apple.calculator. I am using below code: { "platformName": "iOS", "automationName": "XCUITest", "noReset": false, "deviceName": "iPhone 11 Pro", "platformVersion": "13.3", "App Category": "Utilities", "Bundle name": "Calculator", "bundleId": "com.apple.calculator", } I get below error in Inspector though Simulator loads(err attachedenter image description here):
An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: App with bundle identifier 'com.apple.calculator' unknown I have tried putting "/Applications/Calculator.app" value in "app" key but it results in:
An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Bad app: /Applications/Calculator.app. App paths need to be absolute or an URL to a compressed app file: The application at '/Applications/Calculator.app' does not exist or is not accessible
Could somebody please look into this issue?
I have MacBook Pro Mac OS Catalina
Many Thanks!
The Calculator app is unavailable on iOS Simulator.
If you experiment with testing, try a different app like Settings or Shortcuts (you can create shortcuts to calculate things).
If you need to test the Calculator app, switch to testing with real devices.
Good luck!
