i am unable to inspect wkWebView of an ios app in appium inspector , it highlights full screen as a single locator

Question

tried with appium inspector for an ios app

Answer 1

The screen that you're inspecting is a web view. You can directly automate this by switching the driver context and you may try inspecting after connecting your device using following way.

1. Android -> chrome://inspect/#devices
2. Safari -> develop menu

For switching driver context:

Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
for (String contextName : contextNames) {
  if (contextName.contains("WEBVIEW"))
      DriverFactory.driver.context(contextName);
}

Hope this helps. Cheers
