Hi community: I noticed that each closure is counted as lines in code coverage (unit tests) (Xcode 14.1.0) in a swiftUI File. I mean, If you coded and VStack that involves another HStack, and HStack contains 4 lines, and the VStack contains 6 lines counting the HStack. The total executable lines should be 6 (6 lines in the file). But Xcode count 10, counting twice the HStack lines. Is it a bug, or is it correct? You know, I don't know if Apple has another concept about executable lines. Also, Is it possible to remove previews with any configuration from code coverage or constant files? Thanks for all.

I'm trying to write performance tests with Xcode 15, but it's not working: even though setting a baseline seems to work (baseline data files are created), Xcode seems to ignore that baseline altogether whenever the test is run. As a result, performance tests never fail, no matter how bad performance gets. The source editor persistently displays a “No baseline average for Time” message. Has anyone else encountered this? Figured out how to sidestep the issue? Of note, the issue is easily reproduced: create a new (macOS in my case) app project with tests, add a dummy performance test; run the test once and save its baseline, and despite this subsequent tests will always succeed, even if you significantly slow the dummy test down. (I've filed this as FB13330139)

Hello! I've been trying to automate tests using Appium/XCUITests in a React Native APP, but I'm finding many blockers. They are related to the amount of nested elements in the "DOM" in which the XCUItest can not go deeper to get all the elements we need. snapshotMaxDepth -> The XCUITest does not support more than 60 value, otherwise it returns the following error: Got response with status 404: {"value":{"error":"stale element reference","message":"The previously found element "Application 'xyz.xxx.xxx'" is not present in the current view anymore.

We have multiple Jenkins jobs running UI Tests on a Mac with a device attached. This works most of the time but sometimes the tests don't run and the xcreport generated has an error like: BCOVBRDCoverageUITests-Runner encountered an error in BCOVBRDCoverageUITests failed with: Failed to install or launch the test runner. (Underlying Error: Failed to create directory on device 'Brightcove's iPhone 14 Plus' (00008110-000C54912246401E) to hold runtime profiles for application with bundle ID 'com.brightcove.BCOVBRDCoverageUITests.xctrunner': (null). (Underlying Error: The system failed to get the path on the remote device for the provided domain. (Underlying Error: The connection was interrupted.))) Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how to get around it? Kicking off another job after seeing this behavior works fine. The failures seem to be random or we haven't noticed a pattern yet.

I'm using Xcode Cloud for release builds and unit tests, and it works fine. Recently, I added some XCUITests, but to run it the way I need I started to use this mock server. Basically, the idea is you define before each test what responses you want to get for specific requests. It works like a charm locally. But if I want to run it in Xcode Cloud, it looks like the server has failed to launch. The mock server is a separately launched binary file. I think this is because this permission I get when launch it locally. So, my question is how to allow this kind of permission in Xcode Cloud to make my UITests works correctly? You can find a detailed instruction how server is launched on a github page I provided.

Hello, I'm unable to run any test cases in Xcode 16 with the iOS 18 simulator. Steps to Reproduce: Create a new iOS project in Xcode 16 using the default iOS app template with the testing option checked. Run any test or UI test case by clicking the "Play" icon in the Test navigator. Xcode gets stuck at the "Testing" state indefinitely. Environment: macOS 15 beta 8 Xcode 16 beta 6 iOS 18 beta 7 simulator

Hello. In the Xcode 15 we were using this command in the terminal to run our tests on the Rosetta Simulator: xcodebuild -workspace CoreLibraries.xcworkspace -scheme CoreLibraries -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15,arch=x86_64' test` In the Xcode 16 the same command doesn't work anymore. It produces the error: xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a device matching the provided destination specifier: { platform:iOS Simulator, arch:x86_64, OS:latest, name:iPhone 16 } Unsupported device specifier option. The device “iPhone 16” does not support the following options: arch Please supply only supported device specifier options. Running test directly from the Xcode UI using iPhone 16 (Rosetta) still works fine. Does anyone know how to modify the xcodebuild command to make it work again?

I'm building out a number of XCUITests. At one stage in my app, we present an SKStoreReviewController to ask the user if they'd like to review the app now. All I'd like to do is dismiss the view, by hitting the "Not Now" button. Normally, for other "system" views, I'd something like this: let springboard = XCUIApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.springboard") let notNowButton = springboard.buttons["Not Now"] And then I'd do an appropriate 'wait' and tap action. But for some reason, this isn't working. Looking for advice on how to properly handle this screen.

I've recently updated one of our CI mac mini's to Sequoia in preparation for the transition to Tahoe later this year. Most things seemed to work just fine, however I see this dialog whenever the UI Tests try to run. This application BoostBrowerUITest-Runner is auto-generated by Xcode to launch your application and then run your UI Tests. We do not have any control over it, which is why this is most surprising. I've checked the codesigning identity with codesign -d -vvvv as well as looked at it's Info.plist and indeed the usage descriptions for everything are present (again, this is autogenerated, so I'm not surprised, but just wanted to confirm the string from the dialog was coming from this app) &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

I've found the XCUIProtectedResource.localNetwork value, but it seems to only be accessible on iOS for some reason (FB17829325). I'm trying to figure out why this is happening on this machine so I can either fix our code or fix the machine. I have an Apple script that will allow it, but it's fiddly and I'd prefer to fix this the correct way either with the machine or with fixing our testing code.

I have developed a Swift macro called @CodableInit in the SwiftCodableMacro module, and I’m able to use it successfully in my main project. Here’s an example usage: import SwiftCodableMacro @CodableInit // This is for Codable macros public class ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin { public var identifier: UUID = UUID() // MARK: - Codable required public init(from decoder:Decoder) throws { let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) identifier = try values.decode(UUID.self, forKey: .identifier) } } However, when I try to write a unit test for the ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin class, I encounter an issue. Here's the test case: func testCodableSubjectIdentifierShouldEqualDecodedSubjectIdentifier() { self.measure { let encoder = JSONEncoder() let data = try? encoder.encode(subject) //Here I am getting this error Class 'JSONEncoder' requires that 'ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin' conform to 'Encodable' let decoder = JSONDecoder() let decodedSubject = try? decoder.decode(ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin.self, from: data!) XCTAssertEqual(subject.identifier, decodedSubject?.identifier) } } The compiler throws an error saying: Class 'JSONEncoder' requires that 'ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin' conform to 'Encodable' Even though the @CodableInit macro is supposed to generate conformance, it seems that this macro-generated code is not visible or active inside the test target. How can I ensure that the @CodableInit macro (from SwiftCodableMacro) is correctly applied and recognized within the XCTest target of my main project?

Hello! I am writing UI tests for an app with OAuth authentication and want to avoid the login screen. I want each developer to store the password and username locally on their machines. The bash script will get the token. I need to access that token from my test target somehow. The idea was to write them to a temporary file that git ignores and access this file from the bundle. But I can't add the file from the build script to the target and make it accessible from the code.

On my MacBook Pro M4 with macOS 15.5 and Xcode 16.4, I have a simple SwiftUI-based WatchOS application consisting of a NavigationSplitView that displays a short List of items, and a detail view consisting of a TabView {...}.tabViewStyle(.verticalPage) that displays a fixed number of "pages" of detailed information about the selected list item. When I use XCTest UI Automation with XCUIApplication(), I am finding that I need to add a sleep(1) after every interaction, such as a .tap() or .swipeUp() before I can attempt any assertion such as XCTAssertGreaterThan(app.cells.count, 3) to ensure that the top level List of items is more than 3. All the added sleep(1) statements are making the tests very slow... It appears that the WatchOS implementation of UI Automation lacks the ability to wait until the UI event queue is idle. Am I the only one seeing this?

Hi, moving from Xcode 16.1 to 16.2, the code coverage percentage is still 0. The project is quite old, but it worked with 16.1. What I tried: converted the old tests to test plans in the settings, including all the various targets (for internal functionality contained in frameworks, each framework has its own test target). added the various code coverage flags to YES. added test hosts to the main targets. played with various settings found in dozens of guides. But nothing. The main app shows 0% coverage, even though the internal frameworks have their own coverage and the files within the main app are tested. On Xcode 16.1, the % appears, but from 16.2 onwards, it doesn't. Also tried with Xcode 26. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, we are using xctest UI tests integrated into a Jenkins CI pipeline. However, after upgrading the machine running automated tests to macOS Sequoia, we’re experiencing an issue: before each UI test, the system displays a popup asking for a password to allow XCTest to enable UI automation. Is there any known workaround for this, please? I’ve tried disabling SIP and modifying the TCC database, but nothing has worked so far. Thank you in advance. I’ve attached a screenshot of the popup.

I have been learning from the Apple Developer tutorials and I got stuck on the ScoreKeeper chapter with Testing. Since my Macbook Pro 2017 can only use Xcode 15.2 as the highest level, I am having issues with it. I saw a forum post that a certain level of Swift and the tool chain would fix this. I attempted to install Swift 5.10.1 to then realize I only had Xcode 15.2 not 15.3, so I had to attempt to install Swift 5.9. Since neither option worked, I uninstalled Xcode and removed any extra files along with swift packages, minus my projects, to redownload and reinstall Xcode 15.2. Now I am having issues with building the scheme, and I get link error,s and they pertain to Swift 5.10.1, which I had not installed any Swift packages after the Xcode reinstallation. I have tried another previous project even a new one same error. This was 7/30/25, as of today 7/31 I tried to install Swift 5.9 thinking it would overwrite or "downgrade" the package, no such luck. The file path in the error stops at the /.../...RELEASE.pkg file and does not continue, which seems to be the issue of the error. How to I fix this issue, I had a working product 3 dyas ago

Hi, experts, I want to find Siri response window by bundle id and use it for checking or printing, here is my example code: XCUIDevice.shared.siriService.activate(voiceRecognitionText: "call mom") let siriApp = XCUIApplication(bundleIdentifier: "***") // Print out text from siriApp, // expecte print: "Sorry, I can't make a phone call with your iphone." Where should I put into ***? I tried "com.apple.SiriViewService", "com.apple.siri.velocity", "com.apple.springboard' but nothing work Any suggestion appreciated, thanks!
