Programmatically sending an app to background
Is there a way to send the application to background? Similarly to how you can call XCUIApplication.terminate() , I have some UI Elements to test on applicationDidBecomeActive(_:) . Does anyone know if this is at all possible? JMFR I would recommend checking out XCUIDevice . Here is how you might press the home button and then relaunch the application func testExample() { // Has a nav bar. XCTAssert(XCUIApplication().navigationBars.element.exists) XCUIDevice().press(XCUIDeviceButton.home) // Before Swift 3: XCUIDevice().pressButton(XCUIDeviceButton.Home) XCUIApplication().launch() //
