XCUITest - How to simulate locking of the device

Question

I am writing XCUITests for my app in Swift, and I was wondering if it's possible to simulate the locking and unlocking of a device. I've looked at XCUIApplication methods but there don't seem to be any that allow me to lock the device.

This is not possible at the moment.

According to this answer, there's a private method on XCUIDevice that you can call to lock the screen as follows:

XCUIDevice.shared.perform(NSSelectorFromString("pressLockButton"))

I'm not sure but may be it is possible to do via some magic sentence like:

let siri = XCUIDevice().XCUISiriService // available since SDK 10.3
siri.activate(voiceRecognitionText: "siri, please lock my device")
