Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• Xcode (latest version)
• iOS Simulator
• Appium

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Update the wdio.conf.js file with your app-specific configuration:

   • Update platformVersion to match your iOS version
   • Update app path to point to your .app file
   • Update deviceName if you want to use a specific simulator

3. Install Appium and required drivers:

npm install -g appium
appium driver install xcuitest
appium driver install uiautomator2

Writing Tests

1. Create page objects in test/pageobjects/
2. Create test files in test/specs/
3. Use the provided base page object for common functionality

Best Practices

• Use page objects pattern for better maintainability
• Keep tests atomic and independent
• Use meaningful test and variable names
• Add comments for complex logic
• Use explicit waits instead of hard delays
