I have an app that I have automated in IntelliJ to connect to BrowserStack and run a test suite.
It runs on both Android and iOS devices. Using BrowserStack, which I believe uses Appium 2.1, works fine when running on an Android device which uses the UIAutomator framework and the test run as expected. However when running the same test for iOS, using the XCUITest framework it closes the app to the background throughout the test run (I have proven this by bringing the app back from the background using the activateApp command) but i can't figure out why it is doing this
Running on BrowserStacks AppLive system and local devices and manually running the tests does have the issue and appears to only happen when using the XCUITest framework.
Has anyone come across this and knows why it does it or how to resolve it?
I expect the test to run without putting the app to the background.
