Can Calabash be used as test tool only having ipa file?

45 Views Asked by At

Hello Stack Overflow community,

I'm planning to develop a UI test automation for an iOS application.

The problem is that I don't have access to the source code but only the finished ipa file of the app. Therefore I cannot add Calabash.framework to the app. Is there a possibility to write UI tests with Calabash or do I need the source code of the app to add Calabash.framework before creating the ipa file?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Yes, it is possible to use Calabash on an ipa. Compile-time linking is no longer strictly required. See https://github.com/calabash/run_loop/pull/750 - this is a work in progress. I am no longer working on the Calabash project, but I can provide some guidance.
