How to switch from safari driver to iOS app driver? about dotnet-client

[login4amit]

@jlipps Any Comments.

@login4amit - i'm no expert but i'm almost positive you can't switch from one to another. I've actually never tried your con ops (concept of operations). I would assume if you use the iOS driver one from the beginning, it should work though. Try it out and let me know - i'm curious too since i've only used it with apps.

I've never tried this.
But I can advice this...

driver.Context = "NATIVE_APP";

I'am really not sure that it works...

@Astro03 What do you think about the enhancement on the server-side if client code above doesn't work with case described by @login4amit ?

@Astro03 & @TikhomirovSergey
Sure I will take a look at it and will get back to u soon.
Thanks for the response.

Hi,
do you get any solution?

example of the code we use in our mobile framework

`public IDevice SwitchToNativeAppContext()
	{
		_driver.Context = "NATIVE_APP";
		return this;
	}

public IDevice SwitchToWebViewContext()
	{
		//wait until webview context load in app
		var i = 0;
		string context;
		while (true)
		{
			var contextList = _driver.Contexts.ToList();
			context = contextList.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Contains("WEBVIEW"));
			if (context != null)
				break;
			if (i >= 50) //wait up to 5 seconds to load webview
				throw new Exception("Could not find WEBVIEW context");

			Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100)); //Maybe the view hasn't loaded yet
			i++;
		}

		_driver.Context = context;
		return this;
	}`

thank you very much
I have to switch between two iOS apps
what should I define on
_driver.Context=?

[obstar]

I don't think its possible. Because when you start driver you're define app package and it can't be changed during same webdriver session.

I have the problem to get OTP
when I do Swipe to notification the appium logs:
[debug] [XCUITest] Connection to WDA timed out
[debug] [iProxy] recv failed: Operation not permitted
and C# error is:
A exception with a null response was thrown sending an HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL ...
The status of the exception was KeepAliveFailure, and the message was: The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.
I thought that there is a way to get otp from SMS app
maybe you have any idea for this?
