iOS mobile testing with Simulators

Post by steven.cl » Thu Feb 09, 2023 4:26 pm

Hi everyone

I want to use Ranorex for iOS mobile testing.

I read on the Ranorex website : Run your iOS tests on real devices & simulators
https://www.ranorex.com/mobile-automati ... utomation/

Now I'm wondering, where do I find clear info to run test on iOS simulators? On the Ranorex website I don't find a lot of info.

Is that really possible? I mean deploying and iOS app, run tests, ... on an iOS mobile simulator.
If so, how? Anyone would could give some info, details, how to? :)

Thx

Hi, this user guide section dives into more details about how iOS testing can be done with Ranorex - https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/web ... roduction/

Depending on the complexity, you may want to check the "Advanced Mobile Testing" section of the user guide as well.

Thank for the info and link, I already found and checked that.

But I'm looking for specific info about running iOS tests with Ranorex using and iOS simulator.
So, I want to be able to install the app I want to test, run test on an iOS simulator .
The documentation is pretty vague and unclear about this.

What I read:
Install IPA and Deploy (unattended) is only possible via USB, so only for a physical iOS device? So with this assumption using a iOS simulator that run on a MAC OS is not possible?

I see, the simulators are not directly supported from the Ranorex Studio as it doesn't run on MacOS.

What the website message means is that you can set up the integration of Ranorex tests with another tool that supports the emulation. For example,
