In Xcode 9.0, Apple introduced XCUIApplication.activate(). activate() will launch the application if necessary, but will not terminate it if it is already running. Thus:

func testExample() {
    // Background the app
    XCUIDevice().press(.home)
    // Reactivate the app
    XCUIApplication().launch()
}
