Setup Appium Inspector for iOS

[jleach]

To view the testID and accessibilityID for a screen in an iOS application, you can use the Appium Inspector. The following instructions will guide you through setting up the Appium Inspector application, configuring the Appium Server, and preparing the iOS component to run on your device.

1. Download the Appium Inspector application on your Mac and move it to the Applications folder or any other preferred location.
2. Clone the WebDriverAgent project to your desired directory.
3. Open the WebDriver Xcode project, set the appropriate development team for the "WebDriverAgentRunner" schema (component), and press and hold the "Play" button in Xcode. Choose "Test" instead of "Run."
4. Obtain the name and UUID of your test device (iPhone) by running the following command in the terminal:

xcrun xctrace list devices

5. Launch the Appium server component by executing the following command, replacing both the device name and UUID from Step (4) above:

npx appium -dc '{"deviceName": "REPLACE_WITH_DEVICE_NAME_FROM_STEP_4", "platformName": "iOS", "automationName": "XCUITest", "bundleId": "ca.bc.gov.BCWallet", "udid": "REPLACE_WITH_UDID_FROM_STEP_4" }'

6. Open the Appium Inspector application that you installed in Step (1) above and enter /wd/hub in the "Remote Path" field of the user interface.
7. Click "Start Session."

Please note that the screen does not refresh automatically. To update the screen, press the refresh button in the user interface.
