Please note that this tool is classified as a Legacy tool. We recommend transitioning to our updated solutions to maintain optimal performance and security in your workflows. For more information on this matter, please reach out to technical support .

With Appium Studio you can fully control the iOS application being tested as well as the device's springboard. Controlling the device's springboard enables actions such as changing device settings, interacting with a non-instrumented application (like SMS, Contacts, Dialer…), and launching and killing applications in the lifecycle.

To connect an iOS device so that you can both test applications as well as control the device's springboard:
