appium with no reset does not close the simulator after execution

Question

I have to run some test suite on two remote machines.

So, after one suite, i reset the app and for the next suite, app starts well.

But the problem is, after completing the total execution

driver.quit()

just close the app but it does not close the simulator as

no reset is true.

So, is there a way to close the xcode simulator using appium or selenium? I do not want to use ssh and full reset option.

I also do not want to use

killall "Simulator" as it needs ssh connection.

what is the use case ur acheiving by quiting the simulator? – karthick23 Mar 24 '16 at 11:33 — karthick23, Mar 24 '16 at 11:33
At the end of execution, simulator will be closed from pc. – Eric Ipsum Mar 28 '16 at 07:23 — Eric Ipsum, Mar 28 '16 at 07:23

 String closesim[] = {"killall","iOS Simulator"};
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec(closesim);

You can try directly close simulator by passing below code in you AfterClass,Or AfterSuit method . which close all the simulator which is open in system.

For my case its working i am not sure in your cases its work because if you pass below command in terminal you can find its close your simulator.

runtime.exec("xcrun simctl shutdown all");

appium with no reset does not close the simulator after execution
