XCUITest Reset Application State

I am also interested in any feedback if some one has done some device state management. I have a scenario where my application the first time you load it up and install it should give you a prompt, but having to reset the simulator everytime I run this test, is inefficient.

Has anyone had any experience working with setting, and managing various device states yet with the new UI Testing?

I am trying to run the below teardown code.

If I don't import the app I get.

"Use of unresolved identifer 'NSTask'

So If I try to import the app

@testable import MyApp

I get failed to import bridging header errors

But in my Unit Test target I don't get this error and I don't set the bridging header in the Unit Test target.

  override func tearDown() {
        super.tearDown()
    
        let task = NSTask()

        task.launchPath = "/usr/bin/xcrun"
        task.arguments = "simctl uninstall booted com.nike.omega-inhouse"
        task.launch()
    
    }

Any luck with this?

Fwiw, I ended up going this route (http://www.adamkaump.com/thoughts/uitests) and resetting the state of my app at runtime when appropriate.

big challenge I have been trying to solve is resetting the location permission back to null state. Only way I have found so far is uninstall the app, which I have not solved yet from xctest.

I filed this bug a couple weeks ago

Unable to reset simulator state between XCTestCase cases.

Still waiting on a response.

I think that's a little bit unfair - you filed the radar on 8/27, and we got back to you with a follow up question on 8/31. The radar is assigned to the engineering team in question, and still open. Is there anything else that you're waiting for?

I put this as a Test Pre-Action script:

/usr/bin/xcrun simctl uninstall booted your.bundle.identifier

While it will not reset before each test, it will reset once before the entire suite is run.

I was wondering if anyone came up with a solution for this?

I'm using this to reset the application content and settings on the tear down.

Any updates? I still don't see a resolution to this in Xcode 9.1.

Xcodde 9.2 is in the MAS today...might want to take a look at it.
