Katalon Studio - SwitchToWebView does not work in iOS real device










0















I am writing an automation script for iOS App.



I was writing the script that supports iOS simulator. But , I was unable to receive notifications (and it is not possible as per Apple and various other forums). So, I switched to automation of App for iOS real device. Now, my already created script for iOS simulator is not working as expected in iOS real device.



As my App is a hybrid Cordova App, I had to switch to and fro between mobile and web view many a times.



But I am receiving the following error trying to switch my App's content to webView :



com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to switch the driver to WEBVIEW mode (Root cause: Cannot find any WEBVIEW to switch to)



The specifications are as under :



Mac OS : 10.13.6
Appium version : 1.8.1
Xcode version : 9.4.1
Katalon Studio Version: 5.8.0
Device used in Testing : iPhone 6 (OS:11.4.1)



Any help will be highly appreciated.

  • what driver.getContextHandles() returning in real device ? Also try to give some wait before getting available contexts and see if it works ?

  • unable to find any such method. Instead, it is displaying the method .getWindowHandles. Do I need to import something to get it working ?
