I've been able to do UI testing recording on Xcode < 12.5 the past few months, but with the RC Version 12.5 (12E262) it completely doesn't work.

  • UI recording doesn't work on iPhone 12 Pro Max simulator or any of the other simulators

  • UI recording on both watch and device also don't work either.

Looks like the only way to record tests is to roll back to 12.4.

Is there a radar ticket for this? It's an absolute PITA that they release something that is broken like this. What does 12.5 have that is so much better that it warrants breaking existing functionality? I've installed 12.4 to have both versions running for now.

the reason for my update to 12.5 is to setup tests for watchOS. With record broken and watch tests capabilities introduced only in 12.5. I’m stuck until there is a fix. Is there a cheat sheet on how I can get methods/element locators without using record option?

The Accessibility Inspector really helped me with Xcode 12.5. Even showed the button labels inside a web view.

I get the same issue with Xcode 12.5, Mac mini M1. Is there any workaround to solve this thing, my upcoming job interview may requires me to do a UI Test.
