UI Testing Failure - App accessibility isn't loaded

And it fails EVERY TIME. Haven't been able to successfully complete an integration so far XD

we're also having a similar issue.

I'm also seeing the one minute delay. The call to XCUIApplication.launch() in my setUp method blocks for exactly one minute:

    t =     1.45s             Waiting for accessibility to load
    t =    61.45s             Wait for app to idle

That one minute wait definitely seems wrong, but in my case the tests continue successfully after that. I'm using the Xcode 7 GM.

Plese file a bug report (using the Report Bugs link at the bottom of this page) with the information provided here. Thanks!

Is there any update to this? I'm having the same problem, making UI Testing impossible.

My suspicion is that it's related to the fact that my app doesn't immediately become idle once launched, it goes and makes a few network connections and subsequent display updates (based on the network responses) before fully coming idle. But that's just a guess, since this problem didn't occur when I was playing with testing on "toy" apps.

I can't seem to find any bug reports on this topic from anyone that has chimed in here? Without bug reports, it's difficult for us to make progress on the issues that matters the most to you. Please consider filing bug reports (using the Report Bugs link at the bottom of this page).

Hi Joar - I've added one, 22869683.

Thanks

Thanks!

Yes, thank you!

We're seeing this problem, too. I wonder if anyone else is willing to share some details about their app?

In our case, we started an app in early 2013. Recently we forked the project and changed its name for some major internal changes. The interesting thing is that UI Testing works OK for the original project, but the renamed project exhibits this problem. We haven't been able to find any other scenarios where it works sometimes and fails at other times.

I haven't had any success isolating the problem into a sample project that I can submit with a Radar.

We have figured out a solution to our specific problem that causes this and submitted a new Radar (23113807) with a sample project.

Our problem turns out to be pointing the launch screen at a storyboard that is also used for code, and has connected outlets to a UIViewController subclass. These outlets can't be resolved by springboard while it generates a launch image, and it seems to fail over and over, before timing out after 60 seconds.

Clearing out the launch screen storyboard setting or disconnecting the outlets resolves the problem, and UI tests don't hang for 60 seconds.

Hi Joar,

I've been seeing this error intermittently with our builds on Xcode 7.1 and 7.0. I've logged a radar 23498674.

Thanks!

Very interesting. Thanks for your bug report!

I'm also seeing this error. It happens with this app:

https://github.com/appium/ios-test-app

And happens 60 seconds after calling XCUIApplication.launch

Has anyone had a response about this issue?

I've raised ticket 23687653 with logs to see if that helps

Thanks for your bug report!

HI Joar, what is the status of this? I can't seem to run my tests either because they get stuck at .launch(), but only when i run using the bot...when i run it locally, the tests run just fine.

Rico, is this working any better using the Xcode 7.2 betas? If not, please file a bug report and let's take a look at what you're seeing. Thanks!

I'm still seeing this on Xcode 7.2 release.

Do we have any fix for this yet? I am using xcode 7.2 and running my tests using "xcodebuild test" command.

HI Joar, Do you have any update on this?

We killed the outlet on our launch screen xib that pointed back to the file owner from the view and it solved the problem for us. Normally that would cause the xib to not work but it seems the launch screen is a special case. Definitely a bug.

We're having this same issue in Xcode 7.2 and when running from a Bot. We are using a Launch storyboard, although it is not used elsewhere in code and has not outlets, other than it's view outlet, which as greyed out in Interface Builder and cannot be deleted.

I just got an "App accessibility isn't loaded" on xCode 7.2.1. I haven't investigated it further yet.

Apple: Do you have enough input to correct this? Do I have to invest time in bug reporting?

Any updates on this? I'm getting "Assertion Failure: <unknown>:0: UI Testing Failure - App accessibility isn't loaded" when running UI tests from the command line using Xcode 8.0 (8A218a) and iOS 10.0.2 (14A456).
