Integrating iOS devices with Katalon Studio, without using BrowserStack, can be achieved by leveraging Appium, an open-source mobile automation framework. With Appium, you can automate testing on iOS devices directly from Katalon Studio. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to integrate iOS in Katalon without BrowserStack integration:

  1. Install Katalon Studio: First, ensure that you have Katalon Studio installed on your machine. You can download it from the Katalon website and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
  2. Install Appium: Next, you need to install Appium on your machine. Appium is a Node.js server that acts as a bridge between your tests and the iOS devices. You can install Appium by using the Node Package Manager (npm) or by downloading the Appium Desktop application.
  3. Set up Appium: Once Appium is installed, you need to configure it to work with iOS devices. This involves setting up the Appium environment variables, such as the path to the Appium server and the desired capabilities for your iOS device. You can find detailed instructions on setting up Appium in the Appium documentation.
  4. Create a new Mobile project in Katalon Studio: Open Katalon Studio and create a new Mobile project. This will allow you to create and manage your iOS test cases within Katalon Studio’s user interface.
  5. Set up desired capabilities: In Katalon Studio, configure the desired capabilities for your iOS device. These capabilities include the device name, platform version, app bundle identifier, and other relevant details. The desired capabilities specify the configuration of the iOS device on which your tests will run.
  6. Write test scripts: Using the Katalon Studio’s built-in scripting capabilities, write your test scripts for iOS devices. Katalon Studio supports various scripting languages such as Groovy and Java, so you can leverage the power of these languages to create robust test automation scripts.
  7. Execute the test scripts: Once your test scripts are ready, you can execute them directly from Katalon Studio. Katalon Studio will communicate with the Appium server, which in turn will interact with the connected iOS device to perform the automated tests.
  8. Analyze test results: Katalon Studio provides detailed test reports and logs to help you analyze the test results. You can view the execution status, screenshots, and other relevant information to identify any issues or failures in your tests.
