launchWithIDB
allows xcuitest-driver to install WDA via idb, but it defaults to false
.
Geolocation for simulator also uses idb as one of methods.
Thanks. And is there anywhere we can specify it? (Looked through all the capabilities but haven't found anything)
No. The geolocation method has 3 ways. It tries them one by one until they succeed. idb is in the 2nd way.
Sorry, I meant about launchWithIDB
That was only addressed in changelog. I've created a PR to add it https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/pull/1206
Grand. Thanks for that.
I've searched the internet for a clear answer to no avail.
Is
appium-idb
an alternative toappium-ios-device
orlibimobiledevice
, or are they complementary? I'm usingappium
version 1.17.0. Isappium-idb
used by default in it to communicate with iOS devices and simulator, or you have to set a flag somewhere for it to be used?Any insight on these aspects would be helpful, as I seem to lack some understanding of the inner workings of Appium, and all its submodules related to iOS.
