Do I need to be on a Mac to test with iOS devices or can I do this from Windows machine?

[@qavbox]

To test iOS devices, u need to have Mac OS machine, else u can opt for cloud based mobile platforms like browserStack or Saucelabs or test project etc but it's paid, they do have some free trial options u can try

[@vancexavier8339]

@@qavbox That's sad. I can't afford. Can it be an old Mac machine? Doesn't matter?

[@arkaimps]

Nice short and detailed video...I am new to Appium,so quick question, Can context switch be used in case where sometimes we see a link in suppose Gmail and that app is present in our mobile, then default app is opened. Can context switch be used to switch to the app from web link? If yes, how context switch will understand what appActivity or App or appPackage to work with? As NATIVE_APP won't have all details..

[@qavbox]

Try driver.context("NATIVE_APP"); to switch the app and perform some element actions..

Many times the safari browser gets launch but it stuck in driver instance only and not able to navigate to the url

Please let me know how to get the apple developer's account, is it only paid account or do we have free accounts also ?

[@qavbox]

You can have free account as well, only for publishing app you need paid account!

For New Mac OS instead of "instruments -s devices" type " xcrun xctrace list devices"
