Bear in mind a few details. Firstly, XCUIAppliction is not a singleton, therefore, if you call XCUIApplication().arguments.append("myargument") and then you call XCUIApplication().launch(), it won't send the arguments. Check it here.

Second, if you modify the arguments after launching the app it won't work, it will send the new arguments to the next execution.
