Running Your Test In Real IOS Device

• You have to have your own .ipa file which is related to your application.
• You should have the required certificated and provisioning profiles related to the development team.
• Sample test without code modules.

public class OrderLoginTest {
    IOSDriver iosDriver;
    @BeforeClass    public void setup() throws MalformedURLException {

        iosDriver = getIosDriver();



    }

    @Test    public void loginToApp() {
           WebElement txtBoxUserName = iosDriver.findElement(By.id("username"));

WebElement txtBoxUserPassword = iosDriver.findElement(By.id("password"));
        txtBoxUserPassword.sendKeys("1111");

        WebElement btnSubmit = iosDriver.findElement(By.id("submit"));
        btnSubmit.click();
    }

    @AfterClass    public void quiteDrivers(){

        iosDriver.quit()
}

    public IOSDriver getIosDriver() throws MalformedURLException {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        // mandatory capabilities.
         capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, DEVICE_UUID);

        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "iPad Air");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, ".ipa file location");

        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "IOS");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "10.3");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 60);
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "XCUITest");

        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.SUPPORTS_JAVASCRIPT, true);
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.TAKES_SCREENSHOT, true);
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, true);
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTO_WEBVIEW, true); 
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET, false);
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, true);

        URL url = new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub");

        IOSDriver iosDriver = new IOSDriver(url,capabilities);

        return  iosDriver;
    }
}

Running Your Test In Real IOS Device Certificates

open the xcode project in the following location and sign it and build it.

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj

Generating Config.xcconfig file to run in real device

1. Open the existing WebDriver Agent .
2. On top of Xcode you File > New> File .
3. Select OSX->.Other-> Select Configuration settings file.
4. Paste the following things in newly created file.
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = xxxxxxxxx
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Developer 
Development team is Team ID which your developer should be able to provide . 

How desired capabilities Looks like

 ("xcodeConfigFile", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/main/resources/Config.xcconfig");
