I’ve been using the new UI automation tools with Instruments and the iPhone SDK 4.0, but so far I haven’t been able to get it to run under the iPhone Simulator. I’ve tried setting the target to every location possible—my build folder, the app folder in ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator, etc.—but I get an error message when I try to run it:
Unexpected error in -[UIATarget_0x5a1e3b0 frontMostApp], /SourceCache/UIAutomation_Sim/UIAutomation-37/Framework/UIATargetElements.m line 437,
Has anyone gotten this to work?
If you have trouble getting the correct target, running your project with a different instrument (like Leaks) should put your executable into the “choose target” list. That is at least one potential error source you can exclude that way.
