Launch safari with url is opening provided url but changing back to blank page in safari

[krishtoautomate]

API: {{DEVICE_URL}}/session/{{SESSSION_ID}}/wda/apps/launch Body: {"bundleId" :"com.apple.mobilesafari", "arguments":["--U", "https://www.yahoo.ca"]}

Safari launches with loading "https://www.yahoo.ca" but reverts back to blank in 2-5 seconds.

I have face same issue Can you please help this issue

[KazuCocoa]

hm, WDA calls https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest/xcuiapplication/1500467-launch?language=objc at the end. So, probably Apple implemented to behave so. https://github.com/appium/WebDriverAgent/blob/a1824895274c60798b506f31054e4ce1e0400c71/WebDriverAgentLib/Routing/FBSession.m#L204

Btw, how about the system log?

For Simulator: It seems Safari behaves so. Please report it to Apple to change the behavior. It seems after opening the page with launching the safari process, iOS focuses on the search bar automatically.

For Real device: Launching safari is expected behaviour. I think --U argument does not work on the real device. You can report it to Apple. (Although I don't know the argument is the official one.)
