Answer 1

How I solve the issue?

First, my screen looks like:

To understand that I call next command:

BUNDLE_ID={YOUR BUNDLE ID} DEVICE_ENDPOINT=http://{YOU DEVICE IP}:37265 bundle exec calabash-ios console
start_test_server_in_background
query("APNumberButton")

And I get my Keyboard structure.

I would like to use simple function in my test to touch this keyboard. That is why I wrote helper:

def number_pad(string)
    for i in 0..string.size
        case string[i]
        when "1"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:0", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "2"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:4", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "3"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:8", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "4"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:1", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "5"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:5", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "6"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:9", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "7"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:2", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "8"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:6", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "9"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:10", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        when "0"
            i_tap("APNumberButton index:7", $CLIENT_TIMEOUT)
        end
    end
end

I call it every time, when app use this keyboard.
