Can someone help automate the following scenario?

Scenario: I need to register a user using a QR code generated by the system.

Precondition: I need to automate the step of moving a QR code PNG file into my iOS device gallery before starting the test case.

How can I automate this process?

I have tried many ways;

1st option Mobile.pushFile("device-location",new File("local-machine-file-path"))

2nd option File imageFile=new File("Resources/patients_qr/dev_study_1/client-9923-qr.jpg"); driver.pushFile("/Documents/client-9923-qr.jpg", imageFile)

Hi @abeywardhanagsd,

Welcome to our community. Thank you for sharing your issue. I am really familiar with this testing but doing some research, suggest that:

We can use Appium for this. The idea is that we upload QR code PNG to a cloud service (like iCloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox) and note down shared URL or access location for the file. Then we can download the file on iOS device.

Suggested code:

import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile

// Step 1: Open Safari and navigate to the QR code URL
String qrCodeUrl = "https://your-cloud-service-link.com/qr-code.png"
Mobile.openApplication('com.apple.mobilesafari') // Bundle ID for Safari on iOS
Mobile.tap(findTestObject('Object Repository/Safari_URL_Bar'), 10)
Mobile.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Safari_URL_Bar'), qrCodeUrl, 10)
Mobile.tap(findTestObject('Object Repository/Safari_Go_Button'), 10)

// Step 2: Wait for the QR code to load
Mobile.delay(5)

// Step 3: Long-press on the QR code to open the Save Image option
Mobile.longPress(findTestObject('Object Repository/QR_Code_Image'), 3)

// Step 4: Tap on 'Save Image' to save it to the gallery
Mobile.tap(findTestObject('Object Repository/Save_Image_Option'), 10)

// Step 5: Close Safari
Mobile.closeApplication()

We can verify the photo in the gallery:

Mobile.openApplication('com.apple.mobileslideshow') // Photos app bundle ID

There might be other options like using simulator where you can place files directly in the simulator’s gallery using tools like xcrun simctl.

Please take a look and do more research on this
