XCUI Tests run ridiculously slow in iOS 10

As the title. My UI tests are running awfully slow on iOS 10, both simulators and real devices, whereas on iOS 9 it runs perfectly fine as one would expect it would regardless of the OS version. a UI Test on iOS 10 generally requires twice or even thrice the time of what it does on iOS 9 for it to complete. It feels even clunkier than the old UI Automation.


Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone know what causes this issue?

Hi, yes I am sadly experiencing the same issue. It's much much slower than iOS 9. I have actually filed a radar for this issue.


Would be great for someone with some domain knowledge to comment on this. Perhaps there's a more efficient way to craft queries to speed things up?

Thanks for that (both filing the bug and posting the number). Unfortunately the bug doesn’t have any useful insight into this issue, and UI tests aren’t really my forte. If this is seriously impacting on your day-to-day work I recommend you open a DTS tech support incident to you can discuss your options with one of my colleagues.
