Could you please help to resolve the issue with Appium , I am using selenium web driver with Java

How to click on the iOS Simulator/Device Home button or Volume up/Volume down using Selenium webdriver -Java

Home button is not currently allowed in UIAutomation (the API we use to automate iOS) as for volume up and down you'll have to call selenium's execute_script with the raw UIAutomation javascript to do this. I think it's something like "taget.clickVolumeUp()"

You can't click the home button as it would end your test.

You can however background your app momentarily using "mobile: background".

We haven't implemented volume up/down yet.

Thanks Jonathan/Dan

I got it !!!, i could able to send my iOS app to background using mobile:background. BUT at the same time i can't perform any operations on iOS device features like settings-> turn off wi-fi

My Scenario is like this:

1. In my iOS application, I need to press a button 

2. I need to send my application to back ground for some time (say 10 sec)

3. By that time I need to change the iOS device settings-> like i need to turnoff wi-fi

4. When my application resumes from back ground, the application should be running without wi-fi

Is this scenario Possible, Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you use the swipe up menu on iOS7 to set airplane mode?

[Jonathan Lipps]

it'll come back automatically after that time

Hi Jonathan, 

Does anybody have tried this on real iOS device?  For me, it successfully background the app but failed to foreground it after the given duration.  It works fine on simulator.  Is there other option for real device?

note: I can see the device brings up the background running app after the given duration but the app does not foreground.  From simulator, it will foreground immediately when it show from the background apps.

Hi ubmobile.it,

Did the java code work for you on a real device ??

Im trying 

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

js.executeScript("mobile:background",6);

and eclipse is returning the following error :-

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An error occurred while executing user supplied JavaScript. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Please can you tell me what worked for you??

[ubmobile.it]

Could You please try with below code, it works. Please Let me know once it works for you.

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

js.executeScript("UIATarget.localTarget().deactivateAppForDuration(50)");
