Is there a way to have a IPC between an App and the UITestRunner app?

I've tried to enable the AppGroup for UITest but without luck 😟.

Yeah, an App Group won’t work because your test target generates a bundle that’s loaded into the test runner, meaning that you don’t get control over the test running’s entitlements.

I suspect your best option here is to use TCP.
