As part of our continuous integration I've set up pipeline in Azure DevOps in order to test our apps. For Android I've set up a pipeline where the Ranorex Service App gets installed on the target phone (real device connected to the pipeline agent(laptop)) followed by the instrumented app (Instrumentation of the app takes place in a seperate pipeline). I've used command line tasks to achieve this and adb commands in the command line task. When these tasks are completed and the apps are installed on the device(s) the ranorex solution task starts with a freshly installed app on the device(s).
I'm trying to achieve the same for iOS and I've come as far as setting up a pipeline where the IPA gets instrumented and deployed to the device where the Ranorex Service App is allready installed. However, as mentioned in the documentation for the instrumentation wizard (https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/int ... izard/ios/) the app will only become visible for the Ranorex Service App after the app is started manually. Since this is all taking place in an automated pipeline and at night I'm unable to start it manually. Is there a way to automate this so that the Ranorex Service App recognizes the instrumented app befor the ranorex solution starts?

Re: Open instrumented IPA through pipeline to be visible in Ranorex Service App
have you finished your work? because which pipeline you are trying to develop it seems very interesting and I would like to use it at once.HugovdB wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 10:59 amAs part of our continuous integration I've set up pipeline in Azure DevOps in order to test our apps.

I have not, you are the only reply so far. As mentioned, I do have the android pipeline ready and the iOS partially but am still unable to open an app from the pipeline...

Re: Open instrumented IPA through pipeline to be visible in Ranorex Service App
Still no progress here, I have not found a way yet to start and/or stop an iOS app through a pipeline so that the Service App can interact with it. If I ever do I will make sure to post my solution here.

Re: Open instrumented IPA through pipeline to be visible in Ranorex Service App
Same here, I don't seem to connect with the app by any means. Every time I try to open the app, it just crashes.

whatsapp modWhere is the solution exactly? Sorry, but i didn't find a post here with the solution.
Re: Open instrumented IPA through pipeline to be visible in Ranorex Service App
Pretty sure the replies above are nonsense. there is no solution for this yet. You still need to start an instrumented app manually on iOS in order for the service app to use them...Mary98 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 5:44 amwhatsapp modWhere is the solution exactly?

Share with us too how you do it if you got success. I'm a lazy one here.
stand for something or you will fall for anything. And nulls clash game is all you need.
Re: Open instrumented IPA through pipeline to be visible in Ranorex Service App

Restart all Ranorex tools and the AUT with the same privileges, preferably as an administrator.YoWhatsApp APK Download
