Re: KIF launches app, but screen is black

[Tony Mann]

The app runs normally without KIF? Can you trace through the code and figure out how KIF is blocking your app from starting properly?

Hi there,

I'm taking KIF into use via cocoapods on an existing xcode project. This is the first time KIF has been used on this project.

The build completes and the app is installed. The app launches (I see the splash screen) but after the splash screen is timed out, the main screen that I expect to see does not appear. The screen is essentially black.

The expected viewDidLoad method is not called, but the dealloc method is indeed called. 

Has anyone experienced this issue and if so, what are the ways to resolve?

Thanks in advance

@Tony, it wasn't KIF. The app had a conditional preprocessor statement that was getting hit in the souce code of the app that I was testing.  That was the cause. 

Sorry for the confusion (and late reply)

Hi Mike, I am currently having the same issue as you are where the app runs normally but once tests are started the simulator will show the splash screen followed by the black screen. Would you be able to give me more details on how you fixed your problem? Thank you!

My problem was a developer issue. They were displaying a black screen in a particular instance when the unit test framework was detected. Since KIF is a unit test framework I was hitting that code in our app. Once we understood that we fixed it in our app. 

Hope that helps

Thanks so much Michael! Turns out that was exactly the problem. 

[Michael Lupo]

What are the chances of that happening to someone else? :)

Based on stats so far...100%!

I shouldn't have asked! LOL

Looks like developers think alike! :D
