Launch browser or app on mobile device via script

[Arnab MahapatraParticipant]

can I launch a browser on a mobile device?
not sure how to use the launch method to do this

can I launch an app via the script using some method?
what would be syntax for this? if so, where can I find app id if needed?

Hello amahapatra
You can find detailed information in “Launch” method tooltip

Simply select method, then click “space” once and you’ll see tooltip for this method

…launch (“iphone safari”);
Does not work, Error is thrown

Could i have an example line for launching mobile browser?

[Arnab MahapatraParticipant]

also do I need to install mobile safari ipa via zaptest even though it is pre-installed on iphone? if so, I guess I would need to get the safari ipa file somehow?

[Arnab MahapatraParticipant]

was able to get mobile safari to work –
safari showed up as an app in the device manager after re-installing itunes on the connected computer. not sure if itunes had anything to do with it

Hello amahapatra
Glad to hear you got positive result finally
Another option to run application on your mobile device is to indicate exact name of *.ipa packet (for iOS) or *.apk packet (for Android).
Will look like that:

Application(“Clash of Clans”).Launch “android com.supercell.clashofclans”

Note that to run applications this way from iOS you need to have provisioning file and certificate for apple device (and you need to install it via Device Manager by installing some application – for example ZAP Browser which packet inserted to Device Manager). Here is the link of how-to.

Hope that helps.
