I would like to know if calabash supports deep linking, I need to access a section of my native app through a link. If it does support it, could you refer some example?

Thanks.

  • How do you want to trigger it? Because with calabash-ios you can only test inside your app. You can not interact with the OS as such. – Lasse Nov 30 '15 at 14:25
  • I was wondering if there is some functionality on calabash to send as a parameter the URI and handle it to open such part of the native app. Since as you said, I can't interact with the OS as such. – Cristian Nov 30 '15 at 14:48

Calabash does not support that type of operation directly.

What you can do, however, is create a backdoor method which triggers the same functionality.

E.g., suppose when your app is opened via URL myapp://?key=value, you are handling the necessary logic in AppDelegate.m with a function called

- (void)handleOpeningAppWithURL:(NSURL *)url { 
    /* parse url, etc...*/
}

Then you could have a backdoor method in your app delegate, say:

- (NSString *)backdoorOpenWithURLString:(NSString *)urlString {
    [self handleOpeningAppWithURL:[NSURL urlFromString:urlString]];
    return nil;
}

And invoke it from calabash via:

backdoor "backdoorOpenWithURLString:", "myapp://?key=value"
