TestComplete iOS bypass permission alert

Question

Hello,&nbsp;We would like to fresh install our app prior to running a test set. However doing so prompts the permission message about allowing push notifications. From what I can tell, there's no way to address this message from TestComplete since it doesn't show up in the object browser. Does someone know of a way where&nbsp;I can get passed the permission message without having to do it manually? I've tried using a touch command on the device with specific coordinates, but this does not work.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks!

Hi,
&nbsp;
TestComplete cannot work with such messages as they are displayed by the iOS not by an instrumented app.
&nbsp;
We have investigated and evaluated the resources needed for this support. This is a big project. Mobile testing is an important direction for our product, so we consider to include this task in our Dev plan, but cannot commit to any ETA at this moment.
&nbsp;
But, as far as I know, once you click this notification manually, it won't be displayed anymore for this app.

Hi,just to confirm Yuris message:TestComplete cannot uninstall iOS apps, it can only install and update which is why you need to respond to that message just once and then never again.Unfortunately, this means, that you can never assume a clean test environment as your app is not uninstalled and then installed again, but this is how iOS works.&nbsp;Greetings,vatbub

Looks like you need to ask support for help:&nbsp;https://community.smartbear.com/t5/Mobile-Application-Testing/How-to-notification-on-Android-or-iOS/m-p/114178/highlight/true#M911

Hi,
&nbsp;
I am not an expert with iOS, but in the unlikely case it allows something like Android, you may try the approach described by vatbub in the https://community.smartbear.com/t5/Mobile-Application-Testing/Testcomplete-and-the-new-permission-system-in-Android/m-p/123431#M1074 thread.
