Version 8.0.1 |
For iOS testing, QF-Test requires an installation of the full Xcode development application, as well as the iOS Development Bridge (idb).
In the menu "Extras" of the QF-Test main window you can find the command "Check/Setup iOS test environment ...". This command helps to verify your current system and gives advice on how to install the required tools. When a tool is started the first time it can happen that its initialization takes more than 30 seconds. In this case, due to timeout, a wrong version number of the tool is reported. To work around, simply restart the check/setup procedure.

To interact with the iOS device, QF-Test uses the idb
tool. It consists of the idb companion which communicates
directly with the (simulated) device, and the Python based idb client. Both parts need to be available
on the system in order to execute iOS tests. More information about the idb
tool can be found
in the idb documentation.
The installation of the idb companion can be performed using the command line Homebrew tool (see https://brew.sh). To install the idb companion, run on the command line:

The idb client requires a Python 3.6 or greater to be installed on the system. This can also be done
using Homebrew on the command line. Afterward, the idb client is installed using the pip
tool of Python:
