appium-idb
appium-idb is NodeJS wrapper over iOS Device Bridge (idb) set of utilities made by Facebook. Read https://www.fbidb.io for more details.
Requirements
- Python 3.6 or newer
- XCode 10 or newer
- idb_companion 1.1.7 or newer
- idb 1.1.7 or newer
Installation
Use the following commands to setup idb and its dependencies:
brew tap facebook/fb
brew install idb-companion
pip3.6 install fb-idb
Usage
const idb = IDB({
udid: deviceUdid,
});
await idb.connect();
const deviceInfo = await idb.describeDevice();
await idb.disconnect();
Check https://github.com/appium/appium-idb/blob/master/lib/idb.js on the list of supported IDB options. udid
option is mandatory and can be both Simulator or real device id. It is mandatory to call connect
method before invoking idb instance methods (this will trigger idb companion and idb daemon processes if necessary). Calling disconnect
will stop the previously started companion processes.
Go through the modules in https://github.com/appium/appium-idb/tree/master/lib/tools to get the full list of supported commands.
