UITesing Utilities

Contents

• Springboard.swift - a Springboard utility that can delete apps and reset settings
• XCTest-Private.h - private headers used by Springboard

How to use

• add the contents to your UITesting target
• import XCTest-Private.h into your UITesting target bridging header
• in your XCTestCase tearDown() method use the Springboard utility to delete the app and/or reset Location and Privacy Settings

Example tearDown()

  override func tearDown() {
    
    // Put teardown code here. This method is called after the invocation of each test method in the class.
    Springboard.shared.deleteApp(withName: "YourAppName")
    Springboard.shared.resetLocationAndPrivacySettings()
    
    super.tearDown()
  }
