Handle permission pop-ups

If you are using BrowserStack SDK, you can set the following capability within the browserstack.yml file:

Grant all permissions for Android apps

To test Android apps, use Appium’s autoGrantPermissions capability to automatically determine which permissions your app requires and grant them to the app on install. These permissions are determined based on the Android manifest defined in the the app’s .APK file. This cabability works on Appium 1.9.1 and above.

The sample below shows how to use autoGrantPermissions capability for your Android tests:

autoGrantPermissions: true

Allow or deny all permissions for iOS apps

To test iOS apps, use Appium’s autoAcceptAlerts and autoDismissAlerts capabilities to handle app permissions. autoAcceptAlerts will automatically accept all permission pop-ups. autoDismissAlerts will automatically dismiss all permission pop-ups. This includes privacy access permission pop-ups (e.g., location, contacts, photos).

The sample below shows how to use autoAcceptAlerts or autoDismissAlerts capabilities for your test:

autoAcceptAlerts: true

or

autoDismissAlerts: true

    }

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("autoGrantPermissions", "true");

desired_cap = {
      "autoGrantPermissions" = "true"
  }

capabilities = {
       "autoGrantPermissions" => "true"
    }

caps.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", "true");

let capabilities = {
    'autoGrantPermissions': 'true'
}

capability.AddAdditionalCapability("autoGrantPermissions", "true");

desired_cap = {
  'autoGrantPermissions' = 'true',
}

caps['autoAcceptAlerts'] = 'true'
