Background Method for app missing about robotframework-appiumlibrary

[extr3mal]

Also there are no options for launching app using bundleid and udid on iOS devices

[jollychang]

@extr3mal thanks for your suggestion , I will check that~

[extr3mal]

To enable backgrounding just add in _applicationmanagement.py following code :

 def background_app(self,time):
        """
        Background the app
        """
        self._current_application().background_app(time)

To enable udid and bundle id it will require reconstructing of open_application method inside same file . I hard coded my code inside of it so it can launch apps from real device but that method isn't good because it does not fit all possible usage cases

def open_application(self, remote_url, platform_name, platform_version, device_name, automation_name=None, app_package=None, app_activity=None, alias=None, udid=None, bundleid=None):
        """Opens a new application to given Appium server.

        | *Option*          | *Man.* | *Description* |
        | remote_url        | Yes    | Appium server url |
        | platform_name     | Yes    | platform name, either "iOS" or "Android" |
        | platform_version  | Yes    | platform version, the mobile OS version you want |
        | device_name       | Yes    | Device name, the kind of device you want, like "iPhone Simulator" |        
        | app               | Yes    | Android/iOS application path |
        | automation_name   | no     | "Selendroid" if you want to use Selendroid, otherwise, this can be omitted |
        | app_package       | no     | Android application package name |
        | app_activity      | no     | Android application activity name |
        | udid              | no     | iOS Real Device UDID |
        | bundleid          | no     | iOS Application Bundle ID |

        Examples:
        | Open Application | http://localhost:4723/wd/hub | iOS | 7.0 | iPhone Simulator | your.app |
        | Open Application | http://localhost:4723/wd/hub | Android | 4.2 | emulator:5554 | OrangeDemoApp.apk | Selendroid | com.test.orangedemo | .MainActivity |
        """
        desired_caps = {}
        desired_caps['platformName'] = platform_name
        desired_caps['platformVersion'] = platform_version
        desired_caps['deviceName'] = device_name
        #desired_caps['app'] = app
        desired_caps['automationName'] = automation_name
        # desired_caps['browserName'] = ''
        desired_caps['appPackage'] = app_package
        desired_caps['androidActivity'] = app_activity
        desired_caps['udid'] = udid
        desired_caps['bundleid'] = bundleid
        desired_caps['takesScreenshot'] = 'true'

Hope my code suggestions wil help you somehow
