Hi,

What kind of simulator and with what version of Ranorex? Ranorex only supports automation of Windows, iOS and Android apps, where iOS and Android apps could be automated both on real devices and emulators. Ranorex does not support Mac platform, not even via "emulator".

The Ranorex documentation has full instructions on how to accomplish this, you need to read it. http://www.ranorex.com/support/user-guide-20.html

It should be no different with the simulator than with a device, if you get the sim setup right.

Hi,
I am using Windows 10 pro, Ranorex 7.0, iPad v:10.2 I recorded a script and whenever i am going to run my script on my iPad I need to launch my (AUT)application manually and i need to keep it foregrounded then only my script is able to play else if my (AUT)application is not in foregrounded and i am going to play my script then my test script fails and not able to launch the application automatically through ranorex.. Please give me some solution so that I can start my (AUT)application through ranorex even though my app is not running before playing the script.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Sagar,

Do you mean that the app is not launched at all and no error shows up or there is some error? Or... Maybe it is launched and then it goes into the background?

If the app crashes:
Synchronize your device with iTunes and check the folder %appdata%\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\Devicename\. There should be a crash report. Please add this to your next post.

Regards,
McTurtle

You can add an iOS Simulator on the device list using the Network option. The IP address will be that of the Mac running the iOS Simulator. An instrumented app must be running already on the Simulator for Ranorex to find it.

Ranorex can't launch an app on the Simulator. You must manually launch the app yourself via XCode or via Jenkins. One of the reason why Ranorex can't launch an app is because you can't install the Ranorex Service App on the iOS Simulator.

Hope that helps.
