Unable to set URL in native context on iOS real device

The problem

Attempting to open a deep link from a native app context on a real device, per 1.6.5 release notes.

Allow setting url in native context, for opening deep links.

When i call driver.get(deeplink), simctl returns an error saying my UDID is an invalid device. Seems it’s assuming my target device is a simulator.

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.6.6-beta.4
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): N/A
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Mac Sierra
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 8.4.0
• Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 10.3.3
• Real device or emulator/simulator: real device
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Link to Appium logs

I changed deeplink and udid. They are both valid, just removed them for privacy. https://gist.github.com/jamesvanhorn/a43f9865a688077be1f0affe17b08a2a

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

driver.get(“some deeplink”);

Yes, currently this only supports simulators. Not sure how to do this on real devices, but I’ll add it to our backlog.

HI everyone, i’m testing deeplink. when i use ADB terminal to test, the app don’t need login. But when i testing deeplink with code in automation with appium. The app request login. How can i resolve it HashMap<String, String> deepUrl = new HashMap<>(); deepUrl.put(“url”, url); deepUrl.put(“package”, “com.fishidy.debug”); driver.executeScript(“mobile: deepLink”, deepUrl);
