Connect iOS device
that is NOT-Jailbroken
Note:
SilkMobile
provides two options for testing iOS devices:
1. Full
control – enables you to control any application or aspect of the device under test
including 'settings' and applications that were not developed by you. This
integration requires an iOS device that is jail-broken. For this option please
refer to the iOS (Jailbroken) section of the SilkMobile manual.
2. Application
control – enables to control your application only. This integration doesn't
require a jail-broken device.
This section describes the second option (non-Jailbreak) integration.
Before starting to connectivity process, here's a diagram that describes the overall architecture of connecting your Non-Jailbroken device to SilkMobile:

PHASE I: WINDOWS station & iOS device
Step 1: Connect SilkMobile to your application
In
SilkMobile (that has been installed on your Windows station), go to the Device tab
and click the 'Add Device' icon and select 'iPhone Device Application'.

Set the device type and select USB for the
host (the port is automatically populated, no need to change anything there):

Step
2:
Launch your application on your iOS device. NOTE:
Your application should be prepared by your developer as per the instructions
in Phase II below (this is a one-time activity that your developer should do -
please hand the instructions in Phase II below to your developer).
Step
3:
In SilkMobile, go to the Device tab and click the 'Open Device' icon to see your
application screen and start working with it. That’s it. You can then start
recording scripts with SilkMobile (refer to our Getting Started or Record section
for details instructions on this).
Following are
instructions how to add SilkMobile Framework to your Xcode
project, so you can use SilkMobile with a non-Jailbroken iOS device. Note there
are two phases in this process: in the first phase you work with a MAC station
and your iOS device you are testing; and in the second phase you work with a
WINDOWS station and your iOS device you are testing.
PHASE II (hand these instructions to your developer):MAC station & iOS device
The
following instructions are for your developer, so he can prepare the
application for testing. This is a one-time action that has to be done by the
programmer. So, please hand the following instructions to your programmer.
Step 1: Create your project in Xcode
Step 2: Duplicate the target (note: when
asked about the new Duplicate Target choose “Duplicate Only”

Step 3: Add
SilkMobile.framework and static_resources.bundle (here
is the download link ) to your new target:
·
Go
to Build Phases →
Link Binary With Libraries → and click on +
·
Select
Add Other, and:
- add the SilkMobile.framework and static_resources.bundle located on your hard disk
- add (from apple SDK):
- QuartzCore.framework
- CFNetwork.framework
- QuartzCore.framework
Step 4: go to Build Settings, and search
for Other Linker Flags

and add the following
flags: -ObjC -all_load

At
this stage you should do the following:
1. Choose
the target copy
2. Go
to build settings
3. Change
"Build Active Architecture Only" to YES

Step 5: Now you can switch
to the duplicated target and deploy the app:

Switch between the targets to run with and
without the SilkMobile server
