There are a lot of options available that define how to build your app, for example fastlane snapshot -scheme 'UITests' -configuration 'Release' -sdk 'iphonesimulator' This can be skipped with the following command fastlane snapshot -stop_after_first_error -skip_open_summary To stop the flow after the first error, run fastlane snapshot -stop_after_first_errorДЄlso by default, snapshot will open the HTML after all is done. If any error occurs while running the snapshot script on a device, that device will not have any screenshots, and snapshot will continue with the next device or language. So, while you won't see the simulators running your tests, they will, in fact, be taking your screenshots. Note: While running snapshot with Xcode 9, the simulators will not be visibly spawned. This can be disabled to run each device, one at a time, by setting the :concurrent_simulators option to false. This is the default behavior in order to take your screenshots as quickly as possible. New with Xcode 9, snapshot can run multiple simulators concurrently. fastlane/screenshots if you're using fastlane) You can find the red record button on the bottom of the screen (more information in this blog post) Usage fastlane snapshot

You only have to interact with the simulator, and Xcode will generate the UI Test code for you. To quick start your UI tests, you can use the UI Test recorder. You can try the snapshot example project by cloning this repo. Make sure you only have one launch call in your test class, as Xcode adds one automatically on new test files. Objective C: XCUIApplication *app = init]

Add the following code to your setUp() method:.

To take a snapshot, call the following between interactions.

In your UI Test class, click the Record button on the bottom left and record your interaction.

(The bridging header is named after your test target with -Swift.h appended.)

(Objective C only) add the bridging header to your test class:.

SnapshotHelperXcode8.swift to your UI Test target SnapshotHelper.swift to your UI Test target (You can move the file anywhere you want)

Run fastlane snapshot init in your project folder.

Create a new UI Test target in your Xcode project ( top part of this article).

We will not go into detail on how to write scripts. This project uses Apple's newly announced UI Tests.

You realize, there is a spelling mistake in one of the screens? Well, just correct it and re-run the script.

Be so nice, and provide new screenshots with every App Store update.

It is an integration test: You can test for UI elements and other things inside your scripts.
