Practice app · Acme Mobile
A mobile app in a device frame. Elements expose data-accessibility-id (= aria-label) for AppiumBy.accessibilityId.
Your starter code already declares TEST_URL — never hardcode a host.
Objective
Write the iOS (XCUITest) capability set for Acme Mobile and log in with it.
Your task
- 1Set platformName iOS, automationName XCUITest, deviceName (e.g. iPhone 15), platformVersion and app = TEST_URL.
- 2Create the session (IOSDriver / XCUITestOptions or the equivalent in your client).
- 3Log in as qa@target.dev / Test@123 via the accessibility ids "username", "password" and "login".
- 4Assert the inbox is displayed.
Acceptance criteria
- XCUITest capabilities are used
- Login succeeds and the inbox is shown
- At least 1 assertion passes
Constraints
- The practice device runs the Android build, but it accepts iOS capabilities and iOS locator strategies (name / label = accessibility id), so write the test as you would for iOS.
- Keep app = TEST_URL from the starter — it installs the practice build of Acme Mobile.
Fixtures
- username
- qa@target.dev
- password
- Test@123
