Silk Mobile can also recognize some Native elements in non-instrumented applications/screens on devices running under either:
iOS 7 or above
Android version 4.1 or above
Windows Phone 8.1
For This capability is particularly useful when creating automated test scripts which involved the settings of the devices.
To be able take advantage of Silk Mobile's non-instrumented Native Recognition capability on iOS devices, you must first set non-instrumented mode on the device (which requires iOS sign configuration. Please refer to Connecting an iOS Device
When using non-instrumented Native Recognition, Silk Mobile's Object Spy will highlight the application's elements by placing them in yellow rectangles, as can be seen below.
You can utilize such non-instrumented Native elements just like Native elements are defined for instrumented applications, meaning that you can use them to test the application by either:
Dynamically defining them during the recording of a test script, by assigning each such property the value "NATIVE" for its Zone, or
Refining their definition later on through Silk Mobile's Repository by making them properties of different types and for different devices under the Native tab of the Object/Element Properties dialog box.
