iOS 13 Security Related Limitations

Apple has further increased security features from iOS 13 and above.

As a consequence, there are some behavioral changes, specifically in Password Fields and Security Popups

info

This is applicable only for Manual or Interactive mode.

Password Fields

Password fields will appear blank, and on user input, the keyboard will not be displayed. Even after input was inserted into the password text field, the text will remain invisible.

See below (note that the 'x' option on the right of the text field is on, meaning there is text in the field),

Workaround/Solution

Use Object Spy to inspect the fields like a password so that it can be reviewed and crosschecked that these are valid fields.

Security Popups 

Some applications location permission may not appear and some times the device may seem unresponsive.

Workaround/Solution

Navigate to iOS settings → privacy to approve the location. Relaunch your application.
