Apple released a new UI Testing framework 2 days ago during WWDC2015. I'm trying to write a test case and when I try to record the UI testing, to generate the scaffolding code, it looks the code is being generated, however the UI on the simulator is not actually updating.
i.e When I tap on a button, the code is generated to actually find the button and tap, but the button is not actually tapped simultaneously on the simulator.
So basically I'm not able to go to the next screen on the simulator, to actually proceed in the test case.
The WWDC session video showed an example of an iPhone app (Lister app). But I'm trying it on a iPad 2 app. Thats about the only difference.
Any clues about why this might be happening?
Wanted to check if there has been other instances of these before actually filing a Radar with Apple.
I was able to fix the issue.
The problem was, in the "deployment target" section in the main Application target, there are different columns for all the targets listed.
For the Application's UI test target, the target was set to iOS8.
Changed it to iOS9 and it started working.

Xcode has the ability to live record UI tests, as demonstrated by this YouTube video - the user clicks buttons on the Simulator and the code appears in test.
However, when I do the same action on this freshly pushed to GitHub Xcode project nothing code appears. What is my missing ingredient?
This is the screen I see.
and this is a recording of what it looks like live. What am I missing?
EDIT - tried an entirely new user account, different project, button didn't appear at all. Twich video here, I must be missing something...
I am currently trying to get a local notification to work on an example app. I was following the simple guide here and just copied its code to see it working:
https://github.com/codenameone/codenameone-demos/blob/master/LocalNotificationTest/src/com/codename1/tests/localnotifications/LocalNotificationTest.java
However, in the simulation, I cannot see any changes in the status bar. Is the status bar even simulated or just a static image? Do I have to build the app and send it to an actual device every time I want to test it? That would not only be tedious but also crunch on the available monthly builds.
Is there a setting in the simulator to activate this that I missed?
Thanks and best regards
Local notifications happen in the background which isn't supported by the simulator so this is something you will only see on the device. You can simulate the minimizing of the app (pause/resume) but the Codename One simulator is not a full mobile OS simulator.
I want to add a link from my app to another of my apps on the appstore.
Question How to link to apps on the app store showed that the itunes.apple.com link was,until recently, the normal way to go. I've tried this and everything is fine. The problem begins when I disgard this and use Apple's new recommendation of using appstore.com. I use the following line of code:
[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#http://appstore.com/myappname"]];
The first time I call this from my app it works well. You see it jump through Safari and move onto the appstore where it displays my app.
At this point if you look back into Safari you will notice a new blank tab labelled Favourites has been created.
If I go back to my app and perform the same action to link to the appstore again I'm prompted with one of the two popup boxes:
"Open this page in "App Store"? [Cancel] or [Open].
or
"Cannot Open Page. Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid" [OK]
I've found that manually deleting the blank tab in Safari will allow the link to work properly but this behaviour isn't what I want my users to see- and I wouldn't be expecting them to delete the blank tabs from Safari.
Any advice on stopping this behaviour whilst following Apple's new rules greatly appreciated.
A simple and clean solution is to present an instance of SKStoreProductViewController inside your app (modally) to display information on the products you are interested in. The user can interact with it as a small view on the App Store and you can simply dismiss it when done.
I'm working on a project using IBM Worklight and any time I build and deploy my project on any simulator or device, I have this busy indicator spinner in the middle of the screen. Its always there, on every page and its there in the ios, windows, web and android simulators as well as one android device we've tested on. Has anyone seen this before and if so how would I get rid of it.
Jquery-mobile was the problem, it was continuously displaying the indicator for seemingly no good reason. Deleting Jquery mobile fixed the problem
I already used the native worklight loading.It is very good and I tested it on different platforms, devices. But it is necessary to close it when you leave the function that opened it.
Example:
var busyInd = new WL.BusyIndicator ("content", {text: "Please wait..."});
function consult(){
busyInd.show();
//impl
busyInd.hide();
}
I'm now developing an app on iOS. With some reason, I want to use AssistiveTouch UI in my app. For example, there will display a button in my app like AssistiveTouch, if anyone press this button, four buttons will appear like AssistiveTouch, if anyone press one of there four buttons again, some action i set before will excuse.
Does apple support api about this? Or Is there any source code available?
You would have to reimplement this from scratch. There is no public API for either accessing the existing Assistive Touch feature (it has to be turned on by the user in the settings) or for creating a similar UI.
