FAQ

• Q: What happened to the App build process in the Makefile?

  A: It was removed because the only point of having an App was to get around control restrictions for using AVFoundation to get video from IOS devices. The code no longer uses AVFoundation to do that, so that problem is now gone.

• Q: Why can't I use/provide multiple IOS devices simultaneously from a MacOS machine?

  A: This is a technical limitation within the video streaming mechanism. It is being investigated.

• Q: Can I use this without a paid Apple developer account?

  A: I don't know the procedure for doing this currently. It should be possible as one can use Xcode to deploy development IOS apps to a device without a paid account. If you figure out how to do this please share how to do so with WDA ( WebDriverAgent ).

• Q: When I try to click on system dialog boxes, it seems to always select "Cancel" or just close the box.

  A: Yeah. This is a defect with how WebDriverAgent works. I doubt it can be fixed without ceasing using of WebDriverAgent for clicking.

• Q: Clicking is really slow.

  A: This is because Apple doesn't provide any reasonably effective method for simulating clicks that is documented. This is being investigated anyway and there will be a solution within a month or two.

• Q: Do I need a machine running MacOS to use this?

  A: Right now, yes. In the future, once additional research and work is done, no.
