How to select a radio button in iOS

[Joe McGuinness]

Hi,

I'm trying to select a radio button in the iOS app I'm testing with appium, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I've checked the type shortcuts in mechanic.js (link at the bottom of this question) but I still cannot find how to select it. The details of this element are:

AXRole: AXRadioButton

AXRoleDescription: radio button

Do I have to use xpath?

Thanks.

xpath is still kinda iffy. It's probably best to get this element by using tag name.

Or better yet get the developer to add an ID to it

Unfortunately its from a login dialog we're getting from facebook so we can't change it. Any other ideas?

Is this in a web view?

If it's not an apple-supported UIElement it might not work. I'm not familiar with AXRadioButton.

Turns out it *is* a web view. Could you point me in the right direction for some instructions to switch focus to this view please? The output of driver.getWindowHandles(); is 1.
