Access iOS Control Center using appium

Question

I am trying to open the Control Center using appium and the following code:

    int halfWidth = driver.manage().window().getSize().width / 2;
    int screenHeight = driver.manage().window().getSize().height;
    driver.swipe(halfWidth, screenHeight-5, halfWidth, screenHeight-300, 500);  // driver is instance of IOSDriver

Instead of opening control centre the app simply draws on the screen upwards from the bottom (using coordinates input). Anyone know how to open Control Center using appium and swipe (or any other way)?

Thanks, Charlie

Answer 1

We can do this. I tried in Appium 1.4.13 and I am able to change settings.

I used below code to change the settings in my iPadAir2.

int height = driver.findElementByClassName("UIAWindow").getSize().getHeight();
int width = driver.findElementByClassName("UIAWindow").getSize().getWidth();
driver.swipe(width-100, height, width-100, height-200, 500);
driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Wi-Fi").click();

Appium 1.6.5, You can use swipe method, bellow my Python code:

window_size = self.driver.get_window_size()  # this returns dictionary
el = self.driver.find_element(*self.configuration.CommonScreen.WEB_VIEW)
action = TouchAction(self.driver)
start_x = window_size["width"] * 0.5
start_y = window_size["height"]
end_x = window_size["width"] * 0.5
end_y = window_size["height"] * 0.5
action.press(el, start_x, start_y).wait(100).move_to(el, end_x, end_y).release().perform()
