    Found a workaround!

     

    After installing the app and launching it, we get the Notification alert. This blocks the rest of the script from running. I noticed yesterday (by accident) that if the app is removed, installed, and launched again through our script with the alert still up, the script works! It just runs in the background behind the alert that is currently displayed.

     

    I'm not sure why this happens, but I think we can at least run our tests now without the manual step of allowing notifications.

    Hi Corey,

     

    Thank you for the update.

    Considering, that your workaround was noticed by Smartbear guys, I hope that they will pay their attention to this problem.

     

    P.S. Yes, your understanding as for my previous post was correct. I just hoped that maybe it is possible to set some attribute in the (debug version of the) tested iOS application so that all alerts are accepted automatically.
