Where has Automation Instrument gone?

In expirmenting with Xcode8 recently, I noticed that the Automation Intrument appears to not be there anymore... I know you can use UI testing in Xcode now to do some things Automation was doing, but that doesn't seem to include things like ways to simualte location changes (I was using Automation to simulate location changes including speed, which GPX files do not do).


Has that instrument gone entirely, or is there something I need to do to enable it?

In Xcode 8, the Automation Instrument was deprecated and removed from Xcode.

XCTest's UI Testing framework is the new standard around UI Testing with Xcode, and it supports all Apple devices.

You can get started with XCUITest here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest/user_interface_tests

Cheers!
