Xcode 7 UI Testing: Dismiss Push and Location alerts

Question

I encountered a problem with Xcode 7 UI Testing.

The app displays two alerts after my user logs in, the Request Location Alert and the Push

Answer 1

While not ideal, I found that if you simply wait until one authorization dialog has finished before presenting another one in the app, UI tests can pick up multiple requests in a row.

    if CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .AuthorizedWhenInUse || CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .AuthorizedAlways {
        self.locationManager.requestLocation()
    } else {
        self.contactStore.requestAccessForEntityType(.Contacts) { _ in
            self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
        }
    }

I'm actually requesting access to contacts in a different place in my code, but it can handle multiple simultaneous requests just fine.

Then in my test:

    addUIInterruptionMonitorWithDescription("Location Dialog") { (alert) -> Bool in
        let button = alert.buttons["Allow"]
        if button.exists {
            button.tap()
            return true
        }
        return false
    }
    addUIInterruptionMonitorWithDescription("Contacts Dialog") { (alert) -> Bool in
        let button = alert.buttons["OK"]
        if button.exists {
            button.tap()
            return true
        }
        return false
    }

    app.buttons["Location"].tap()

    app.tap() // need to interact with the app for the handler to fire
    app.tap() // need to interact with the app for the handler to fire
