Touch ID support for simulator

Reedy 2016-08-08 12:53:22 UTC #1

Hi,
To my knowledge I cannot see anywhere to set the simulator to has Touch ID enrolled and also for the driver to support a touch id match and failure.
I would expect there to be a Capability entry in the MobileCapabilityType to support Touch ID enrolled, then i would also expect there to be a driver function to perform a Touch ID Match and fail.

If this is to be worked on, what sort of ETA should I expect?

Thanks
Andrew.

I haven't used that but there's support for that in Json WP as you see here:

github.com

appium/node-mobile-json-wire-protocol/blob/6cae393587fda941e99bd9b3b257fb2084a51c53/lib/routes.js

import _ from 'lodash';


// define the routes, mapping of HTTP methods to particular driver commands,
// and any parameters that are expected in a request
// parameters can be `required` or `optional`
const METHOD_MAP = {
  '/wd/hub/status': {
    GET: {command: 'getStatus'}
  },
  '/wd/hub/session': {
    POST: {command: 'createSession', payloadParams: {required: ['desiredCapabilities'], optional: ['requiredCapabilities']}}
  },
  '/wd/hub/sessions': {
    GET: {command: 'getSessions'}
  },
  '/wd/hub/session/:sessionId': {
    GET: {command: 'getSession'},
    DELETE: {command: 'deleteSession'}
  },

Hi Reedy,
Have you figured it out yet?

Reedy 2016-12-28 12:54:47 UTC #6

There isn't an api in appium to do it right now.
I think they have bigger priorities to get the driver more stable with basic functions.

And did you find any workaround?

Pay someone to manually test it.
