UIAutomation through command line on a real device
command-line, instruments, ios, ios-ui-automation, ui-automation
Solution
You need to give it the path to the `.ipa` file. It actualy only needs the app name so you can just pass in the app name. Very Important : The app needs to be installed on the device, Instruments will not install the app on the device, it will only run a installed app on the device
Problem
I know starting from `Xcode 4.2` it is possible to run `UIAutomation` scripts through command line. I've tried this and is working perfectly fine for me in simulator. I'd like to know how to get this run in an actual device.I searched and got the command for running on device as, `instruments -w <device_id> -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate` `application -e UIASCRIPT` `script -e UIARESULTSPATH <results path>` What exactly should I give in the application, is it the path to ipa or something else? Advance Thanks
