Invoking Safari on iOS Simulator during automation

There are two methods by which Safari may be invoked in the iOS Simulator:

1. One, the “real-world” method, is to simply manually tap the Safari icon. However, this method requires manual intervention during automated test.
2. Use the navigate built-in action.

• For method #2, it is essential that you include the protocol (http:// or https://) for the target URL in the location argument. (For example, http://google.com)
