I am facing issue with installing .app and .ipa into my iPad2 simulator using appium. Am using Xcode 7.3 and appium 1.5.2. Here what i have done so far : 1. Installed appium and done all the necessary settings to run on simulator. set - app path, bundle id, platform version etc. 2. Mentioned all these in testng.xml file as well -
<test name="iOSAutomationTestingiPad 2">
<parameter name="platformName" value="iOS" />
<parameter name="platformVersion" value="9.3" />
<parameter name="deviceName" value="iPad 2" />
<parameter name="app" value="/Users/demo/Documents/demoApp/sample.app" />
<parameter name="serverUrl" value="http://someurl here" /><parameter name="language" value="" />
<parameter name="locale" value="" />
<parameter name="bundleId" value="" />
<parameter name="orientation" value="landscape" />
<parameter name="noReset" value="true"></parameter>
<classes>
<class name = "test.appium.iOS.ipad.localization.TestLocalizationBeforeActivation">
<methods>
<include name="captureScreenShotForActivationScreenPageScreen"/>
</methods>
</class>
</classes>
</test>
now when i try to launch appium and run my test case it loads app into simulator but keeps on restarting the app but when i install it from xcode once and then run my test case it runs perfectly. I want to install the .app or .ipa file without actually installing from Xcode first time. It is my project requirement to remove the app and install it again. As am new to appium am not able to track what am missing here. Can You help me out with any pointers?? Thanks in advance.
