(v1) Installing a Mobile Agent on Mac

To install a Mobile Agent on a Mac system, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to folder where you have downloaded Qualitia Installables.

  2. Open Mobile Agent Folder.

  3. Copy Qualitia Mobile Agent.dmg file to any temporary location on the machine where you plan to install this agent.

  4. Double-click Qualitia Mobile Agent.dmg to start the installation process.

  5. Follow instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

Once installed, you can access the agent using the icon from the top menu bar (notification area). Like in Windows, you can right-click the agent icon and proceed with the configurations. Also, ensure that camera access is enabled on the Mac machine where the agent is installed when launching a mobile application under test on an iOS real device for the first time through the mobile object spy.

 

Configuring a Mobile Agent

After the installation of the Mobile agents, you need to configure them to connect to the Mobile server.

While registering agents to the Mobile server, you'll see a list of dependencies required for mobile application testing through Qualitia. If there are any missing dependencies, you can add them from there.

Configuring a Mobile Agent on Mac

After you install the Mobile Agent on your Mac, you must configure it to establish a connection with the mobile server. Following this configuration, all existing Android and iOS virtual and real devices should automatically connect to this agent.

For the configuration of iOS devices, please refer to the Preparing Mobile Devices for Automation Testing section.

To configure a Mobile Agent on Mac, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click the Mobile Agent icon in the notification area and select Open Configuration.

  2. Enter the Mobile Server URL provided by your system or IT administrator

  3. Click Open Settings.

    1. Mobile Server URL combines the Hostname/IP of the machine where the Mobile Server is installed along with port 4001. Sample URL might look like: http://192.168.25.44:4001 or http://localhost:4001.

  4. Enter

    1. Keychain Path

    2. Keychain Password

    3. Keystore Password. These credentials are needed for authenticating to the Keychain Path.

  5. Enter absolute path to chromedriver executable file, which will be used during test case executions on mobile devices.

  6. Enter path to the directory where you have stored the chromedriver for test case executions.

  7. Enter

    1. XCODE Signing ID

    2. XCODE Organization Team ID.

  8. Click Save

  9. Enter the Mobile Server URL.

Crucial Point to Consider: You'll only need information about the Keychain Path and Keychain/keystore password if you have Android Studio for emulators installed on your Mac machine.
