6.        Download safari-launcher from https://github.com/budhash/SafariLauncher for mobile web testing in iPhone.


Environment variables :

1. Open terminal

2. vi .bash_profile 

3. press 'i' and  enter these export commands

a) export ANDROID_HOME=android sdk path

b) export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH

c) press Esc key.

4. ‘Shift’ + ’:’

5. wq > enter

6. Re open terminal.


Installing IOS_Web_PROXY

1. open terminal and enter these commands 

> ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"

> brew update

> brew install ios-webkit-debug-proxy

Installing safari-launcher in iPhonel  

Require Apple account linked with developer program

Add device to developer program

Launch the Safari-launcher.app on connected device from Xcode.

Pre-Script Steps in terminal ios_webkit_debug_proxy

   cd ./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js -c:27753

   Configuring Appium from its source code

   npm install appium@1.4.16l  

   Run this bin/appium-doctor.js from installed appium folder

   Copy .git folder from cloned appium (git clone https://github.com/appium/appium.git)l  Navigate to appium folder and execute ./reset.sh)

   Provide path of installed appium source code in “Use External Appium Package” in appium UI under Developer setting.
