ASWebAuthenticationSession permission dialog

[wferem1]

I have a flutter app which redirect the user to an SSO page to login. on iOS this starts an ASWebAuthenticationSession or SFAuthenticationSession (depending on the iOS version) which shows a dialog as follows:

I tried tapping the Continue button, or call $.native.grantPermissionWhenInUse to allow the permissions, but it seems that this is not a permission dialog (none is found) and tapping with Selector(text: 'Continue') returns with code NOT_FOUND.

Is there any way to have the PatrolTester approve/cancel this request?

Hi @wferem1! Thanks for creating the issue :)

You were thinking good to use $.native.tap(Selector(text: 'Continue')). Just one more thing: on iOS, you need to specify the appId of the app you're interacting with. All system dialogs on iOS are owned by the Springboard app (its bundleID is com.apple.springboard).

So try doing this:

await $.native.tap(
  Selector(text: 'Continue'),
  appId: 'com.apple.springboard',
);

Let me know if this helped!

I should probably add info to docs about this.

Hi @bartekpacia! That indeed did the trick, thanks for explaining!

I have another question, i can't seem to enter text in the textfields on the webview shown after i tap continue.

on Android this worked by calling $.native.enterText(Selector(text: 'Email address'), 'some-text') but on iOS this does not seem to work. I tried it with my bundle id, the springboard id and safari's id (com.apple.mobilesafari) but none of them seem to work (nothing is found)

I don't know the solution to your problem – I haven't encountered this case myself yet 😅

Please try listing all bundle identifiers present on the Simulator:

$ xcrun simctl listapps booted

and see if anything looks interesting and try. Unfortunately, there's no better way to find out.

Good luck and let me know if this helped. If not, we'll think of a different solution :)

Maybe com.apple.webapp?

Also, try using enterTextByIndex() instead of enterText() – it's a bit more reliable.

So:

await $.native.enterTextByIndex('wferem1@gmail.com', index: 0, appId: `IDK`);
await $.native.enterTextByIndex('NyanCar', index: 1, appId: `IDK`);

Replace IDK with your appId (the default if you're passing PatrolTestConfig to patrolTest()), MobileSafari, and Springboard (though I doubt it's gonna be Springboard).

Also facing this issue. I've tried index but I keep getting NOT_FOUND text field at index doesn't exist. And when I try enterText it never seems to find the field.

[bartekpacia]

Hi @Curosevic, sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately, I don't have a reproducible example on which I could find the right appID. It doesn't have to be code – it can be any app (even on the App Store) which is using ASWebAuthenticationSession that I could download and play with. I'll be grateful for any suggestions of such apps!

[Curosevic]

Looks like I was able to get it using enterText and my apps appId :)

[bartekpacia]

@wferem1 Let me know if your problem persists.

[wferem1]

I can't seem to get it working, this is the part of my code starting from the permission dialog

  if (Platform.isIOS) {
    // extra popup before opening webview
    await tester.native.tap(Selector(text: 'Continue'), appId: 'com.apple.springboard',);

    await tester.native.enterTextByIndex(
      'email@test.com',
      index: 0,
      appId: 'com.apple.webapp', // I tried with and without an appId (safari, webapp, springboard, my own)
    );

    await tester.native.enterTextByIndex(
      'password!',
      index: 1,
      appId: 'com.apple.webapp',
    );

    await tester.native.tap(
      Selector(text: 'Continue'),
    );
  }

You could try enterText instead of enterByIndex. EnterByIndex didn't work for me but enterText did.

[bartekpacia]

I have a hypothesis why enterTextByIndex() doesn't work in your case but enterText() does.

This could be because enterTextByIndex(), when called, looks at all the text fields present in the app and attempts to find the text field with the given index, failing if it doesn't exist.

enterText(), on the other hand, has a timeout (10s by default), so if a text field is not found immediately (because the website is, for example, loading), it will wait for it and fail only after the timeout has passed.

If you're interested in how it works under the hood, here's Swift code for enterText(), and here for enterTextByIndex()

@bartekpacia

My app has Google authentication. https://pub.dev/packages/google_sign_in

I would like to say in advance that my language is Japanese. So it is not in English.

Tapping the iOS dialog during Google Authentication was successful.

However, the email address input in the following Google modal fails.

iOS native dialog for google_sign_in (Success)

await tester.pumpAndSettle();

// This is success.
await native.tap(
  // '続ける' is 'Continue' Japanese.
  Selector(text: '続ける'),
  appId: 'com.apple.springboard',
);

email address input for google_sign_in (Failure)

enterText does not work.

await tester.pumpAndSettle();

// This is failure
await native.enterTextByIndex(
  'test@gmail.com',
  index: 0,
  appId: 'com.apple.webapp',
);

// or This (also failure)
await native.enterText(
//  'メールアドレスまたは電話番号' is 'Email address or phone number' Japanese.
Selector(text: 'メールアドレスまたは電話番号'),
   appId: 'com.apple.webapp',
   text: 'test@gmail.com',
);

thanks.

I was mistaken.

I solved the problem by setting the bundleId of my app properly.

Closing because it looks like it was resolved :) Feel free to comment and I'll be happy to continue the discussion :)
