I’m facing an issue where I can’t allow the location permission on the simulator. I’ve tried the following method, but it only works on iOS 18:
I’m running tests on iOS Simulator using Appium, and my app triggers the standard location permission: “Allow Once” / “Allow While Using App” / “Don’t Allow”.
I’ve already tried setting these desired capabilities:
"autoAcceptAlerts": true"autoDismissAlerts": true
But the alert is not dismissed automatically. I also tried locating the alert buttons manually using XPath or accessibility ID, but the elements are not visible or interactable through Appium.
Is there a reliable way to auto-dismiss or bypass this alert during automation on iOS simulators?
I’m currently using: Appium 2.19.0, iOS 18.4 Simulator, Robot Framework 7.3.2
Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated.
