Unable to get available contexts in Hybrid iOS app

[baottran]

Hi everyone,

Given that I’m standing at a screen have WebView and Native context in iOS native app (I double checked that there is a WebView here by Safari develop mode)

I use this to get all available contexts, but only “NATIVE_APP” context is shown.
AppiumDriver<WebElement> driver = MobileDriverFactory.getDriver() Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles()

I did some research and find out that I need ios_webkit_debug_proxy to get WebView context. I set capacities startIWDP and autoWebview but still only show NATIVE_APP context.
In the log it shows: Failed to start ios_webkit_debug_proxy on default port 27753
Please help advice.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Chand, From the look of it, you’ve got a native app with a web view, too. Is that accurate? From what I can tell, Katalon (and Appium, underlying) is showing only basic element info for the web view, which is why you’re not able to find the element you’re looking for; it’s not providing a structure similar to the HTML. I was looking at some docs that might be helpful in switching to a web view mode: https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/mobile-switch-to-web-view.html I wonder if yo…

Hope this helps,
