IOS tests and info.plist

[Dkhusainov]

Currently when running ios test with command xcrun simctl spawn iPhone 8 text.kexe generated test.kexe.DYSM/Contents/info.plist desn't affect the test environment in any way. Is it supposed to work or do we have to find some other way to run tests with modified info.plist?

Could you provide an example of test.kexe.DYSM/Contents/Info.plist property that should affect the test environment? This is .plist file for debug symbols bundle, not for the binary itself.

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
	<dict>
		<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
		<true/>
	</dict>

I'm trying to do a test with netowrk, and it fails because by default IOS doesn't allow unsecure(or old ssl vertions, or not trusted cert) connnections. I'm not expert at IOS, maybe there is some other way to bypass it

NSAppTransportSecurity looks like a key that should be included into Info.plist of the binary itself. What happens if you create a bundle with text.kexe and proper Info.plist, and then run the binary from this bundle with xcrun simctl spawn?

[Dkhusainov]

Okay. I'll try this some time later when I have the time. Don't close the issue for now

You can try this Gradle task proposed by Aleks Nestserau:

task iosTest {
    def device = project.findProperty("iosDevice")?.toString() ?: "iPhone 8"
    dependsOn 'linkTestDebugExecutableIos'
    group = JavaBasePlugin.VERIFICATION_GROUP
    description = "Runs tests for target 'ios' on an iOS simulator"

    doLast {
        def binary = kotlin.targets.ios.compilations.test.getBinary('EXECUTABLE', 'DEBUG')
        def infoPlistSrc = file("$rootProject.projectDir/src/iosTest/resources/Info.plist")
        def infoPlistDest = file("$binary.parentFile/Info.plist")

        Files.copy(infoPlistSrc.toPath(), infoPlistDest.toPath(), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING)

        exec {
            commandLine 'export', 'SIMCTL_CHILD_CFNETWORK_DIAGNOSTICS=3'
            commandLine 'xcrun', 'simctl', 'spawn', device, binary.absolutePath
        }
    }
}

According to migrating issue tracking to YouTrack, closing this issue in favour of KT-37818 which describes test resources as a more general feature.
