What are the necessary changes to be done for iOS source code to see the "Webview" enabled in Hybrid App.

The problem

Detecting the WEBVIEW context in iOS hybrid app. IOSDRIVER class provides only NATIVE context and not WEBVIEW context

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.6.4
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: MAC Captian 10.11.6
• Mobile platform/version under test: iPhone 9.2.3
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Real device
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: 1.0.0

Details

When i try to print the getcontext from IOSDriver class, the Webview context is not been returned by this class. Only “NATIVEVIEW” is printed. If same is followed in Android build i see WebVIEW and NATIVE been returned by respective driver class.

Do i need to make any changes to iOS source code before i generate an IPA file? Please help.

The code i am using to get or switch context is:

// Switching to iOS webview
IOSDriver<MobileElement> iosDriver = (IOSDriver<MobileElement>) appiumDriver;
Set<String> contextNames = iosDriver.getContextHandles();
for (String contextName : contextNames) {
    System.out.println(contextName); //prints out something like [NATIVE_APP, WEBVIEW_<APP_PKG_NAME>]
    if(contextName.contains("WEBVIEW")){
        iosDriver.context(contextName);
        System.out.println("Switched to: "+contextName);
        break;
    }
}
return iosDriver;

I added one Capability and then it worked. capabilities.setCapability(“instrumentApp”, “true”); 👍

Thanks.
