How to check if any app is installed during XCTest? – Ios swift

I need to check if an app with a particular bundleIdentifier is installed on the active device or Simulator and I need to do this from an XC UI test.

I’ve tried doing:

import XCTest

class ServerLoop: XCTestCase {
  func testRunAppInstalled() async throws {
    let app = XCUIApplication("pl.bartekpacia.SomeApp")
    if app.exists {
      // code
    }
  }
}

but unfortunately it only tells me if the app is currently open, not installed.

I want to be able to check if any app is installed, not only my apps. I need this because if the app with bundleId is not installed and I do XCUIApplication(bundleId), then the test fails and there’s no way to prevent it from doing so.

    I couldn’t make it work with the bundle identifier. But if you have the name of the app as it is visible on springboard, this code works in my tests:

    func test_existence() {
    let springboard = XCUIApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.springboard")
    let appIcon = springboard.icons["Settings"]
    if appIcon.exists {
        print("YEAH!")
    } else {
        XCTFail()
    }
}

    It seems like the SpringBoard solution is a good one.

    You could also attempt a launch of an XCUIApplication and expect a fail on the test with XCTExpectFailure in nonStrict mode, with the continueAfterFailure property on XCTestCase set to true.
