Parallel Execution in Appium-iOS Real Devices

In this Appium tutorial we will learn how to execute our Appium test in parallel on Real iOS Devices.

In the last article we have already seen how to execute Appium test in parallel on iOS Simulators.

Well to perform parallel execution on iOS Real Devices we need to pass one additional parameter UDID along with other parameters that we have already seen in another article.

What is UDID?

Each iPhone or iPod Touch has a Unique Device Identifier (UDID), which is a sequence of 40 letters and numbers that is specific to your device. It's like a serial number but much harder to guess.

Let’s understand this by way of an example. Let’s say we have 2 real iOS Devices connected to our Mac host and we want to run the test cases on that in parallel.

Please look at the table below for Device capability and Port information.

S.No	Appium Port No	Real Device Name	WDA Port	UDID
1	4725	Iphone 6	8100	2K6f0dd904d137be2e1720235f5664094b8317811
2	4726	Iphone 7	8200	2K6f0dd904d137Ce2e1720645f5664094b8317811
3	4727	Iphone 8	8300	2K6f0ee904d137De2e1720795f5664094b8317811

Below is the AppiumSampleTest.java file.

Below is my testng.xml file.

Now we just need to Right-click on testng.xml and select Run option, and we will see the 3 iOS Real devices will open and each of them will execute test cases in parallel.
