Can I use Selendroid for automating IOS app?

[Vinay]

I am new to Mobile Automation.I want to know ,Can I use Selendroid for automating  IOS app. If possible then how?
OR it is flexible to use Appium.

[Jim Evans]

Selendroid is specific to Android. You can use ios-driver to use the WebDriver API to automate iOS applications. Same API, just adding a second dependency.

Hi Jim,
          Thanks for your reply.Plz tell me the exact tecnical difference between Selendroid and Appium to automate IOS applications.Please Reply.

[Jim Evans]

You seem to be focused on using Selendroid to attempt to automate iOS apps. For what, by my count, is the third time, you can't use Selendroid for iOS apps; Selendroid is *only* for Android. You need a different project. Since I don't (and won't) use Appium, I use ios-driver for automating iOS apps.

Selendroid = supports automating Native Android Applications

ios-Driver = supports automating Native and hybrid IOS Applications

Appium = Native iOS and Android applications

To piggyback onto this, yes, it's possible to use Selendroid and ios-driver in the same project to automate both Android and iOS apps. However, Selendroid doesn't "use" ios-driver to do so, or vice versa. Your project uses Selendroid via the WebDriver API to automate your Android app, and ios-driver via the WebDriver API to automate your iOS app.

Hi,

 I came to conclusion that we can use Selendroid for Android applications only and Appium for Andriod,IOS applications.Am I right?

Dear Jim

I've just started working on Selendroid iOS-Driver, before this I've successfully created framework in Selendorid for Android APP.

For iOS-Driver, I need your help can you show you a list of step or a sample script ?

My Selendroid Server isn't connecting with 444 Port.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks

Partap

You need to be using http://ios-driver.github.io/ios-driver/ for iOS Driver automation.

Not sure if anyone has yet responded but for iOS you should use iOS driver both of which came from eBay open source foundation. Give it a try.

Not sure, if somebody has replied. Yes, you are right.

Hi Jim Evans,

I have some doubt that Iphone and all IOS devices can be automated by using IOS driver right.

My question is to connect all these devices to MAC OS know? we can to do in Windows 7.

Only in MAC machines we can connect ios devices and do automation testing using IOS Driver right?

In widows generally we cant automate through IOS drivers right?

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Yes. iOS Native app automation is ONLY possible from within OSX

Thanks & Regards
