launchApp

To launch the app under test, simply write:

- launchApp

To launch an arbitrary app with a given id (package name on Android, bundle id on iOS), do:

- launchApp: appId

If you need to clear the app state before launching the app, specify a clearState flag

- launchApp:
    appId: "com.example.app"
    clearState: true
    clearKeychain: true   # optional: clear *entire* iOS keychain
    stopApp: false # optional (true by default): stop the app before launching it
    permissions: { all: deny } # optional: by default all permissions are allowed,
                               # even if clearState: true is passed

If you want to test with a permission with a specific value, specify a permissions argument

- launchApp:
    permissions:
        notifications: unset # notification permission is unset
        android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: deny # Android fine location permission is denied

Launch Arguments

You can send launch arguments while launching the app for both iOS and Android.

Sending launch arguments

Arguments allow sending String, Boolean, Double, and Integer. All other data types are by default passed as a String.

- launchApp:
    appId: "com.example.app"
    arguments: 
       foo: "This is a string"
       isFooEnabled: false
       fooValue: 3.24
       fooInt: 3

Receiving arguments on Android

intent.extras?.getBoolean("isFooEnabled")?.let {
    // Do something with isFooEnabled
}

intent.extras?.getString("foo")?.let {
    // Do something with foo
}

Receiving arguments on iOS

if ProcessInfo.processInfo.arguments.contains("isFooEnabled") {
    // Do something with isFooEnabled
}

// By default all the values received here would be string
let standardDefaultsDict = UserDefaults.standard.dictionaryRepresentation()
let foo = (standardDefaultsDict["foo"] as? String) ?? "defaultValue"
