iOSDeviceManager fails to run

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Using Visual Studio for Mac 8.5 (Build) on MacOS 10.15.3 I get this dialog if I try to run a Xamarin.UITest from within the IDE:

The problem was that the iOSDeviceManager certificate had been revoked.

Updating to the latest Xamarin.UITest fixes this problem.

With the brand new Xamarin.UITest 4.3.3 Update the iOSDeviceManager was replaced by Facebook's idb

Replaced iOSDeviceManager usage with Facebook's idb. To use idb you will need to install it with brew on target system. idb-companion is not needed

A new challenge is the installation of the idb and letting Visual Studio know where to find the idb installation (unfortunately Visual Studio ignores the global PATH declarations). Anyway now we are able to perform UI Tests on iOS 17 simulators again. But UI Tests on IOS < 17 seems to be very unstable (?).
