String with unicode doesn't match on new XCode UI Test and the test fails

I was making some UI Tests using the new XCode 7. How my app uses Notification, on first use iOS automatically ask '"MyApp" Would Like to Send You Notifications'.

When I record the test, XCode write these lines below:

- (void)testFirstUse {
    [XCUIDevice sharedDevice].orientation = UIDeviceOrientationPortrait;

    XCUIApplication *app = [[XCUIApplication alloc] init];
    [app.alerts[@"\U201cMyApp\U201d Would Like to Send You Notifications"].collectionViews.buttons[@"OK"] tap];
    [app.tables/*@START_MENU_TOKEN@*/.staticTexts[@"United States"]/*[[".cells.staticTexts[@\"United States\"]",".staticTexts[@\"United States\"]"],[[[-1,1],[-1,0]]],[0]]@END_MENU_TOKEN@*/ tap];
    [app.navigationBars[@"Select a Country"].buttons[@"Next"] tap];

}

Note that XCode puts the unicode instead of quotes signal on MyApp name. When a run the test fails with error "No matches found for alert".

I tried change the unicode to quote signal but it also doesn't work.

Is it clear? Had someone this same issue?

[Update] I have two issue on this code

1- There is a bug on message with unicodes generated by XCode

2- Test fails after tap on Alerts showed by system

I found one work around for avoid crashing after dismissing a system alert:

I changed this line

[app.alerts[@"\U201cMyApp\U201d Would Like to Send You Notifications"].collectionViews.buttons[@"OK"] tap];

to

XCUIElement *alert = app.alerts[@"\U0000201cMyApp\U0000201d Would Like to Send You Notifications"].collectionViews.buttons[@"OK"];    
if ([alert exists]) {
    [alert tap];
}

I made two changes

  • the four 0000 on unicodes in order to avoid build failed
  • And the a validation before tap on alert to avoid test failed

You can acknowledge the alert by directly accessing the alert.element and tapping the "OK" button via the collection view.

let app = XCUIApplication()
app.launch()
// trigger location permission dialog

app.alerts.element.collectionViews.buttons["Allow"].tap()

However, Xcode 7 (and Xcode 7.1 Beta) will crash after successfully dismissing the alert. I've opened a bug report with Apple and encourage all those experiencing the problem to duplicate it.

The format of unicode characters generated by xcode is wrong so it is xcode bug. As a temporary workaround you could replace

[app.alerts[@"\U201cMyApp\U201d Would Like to Send You Notifications"].collectionViews.buttons[@"OK"] tap];

with

[app.alerts[@"\u201cMyApp\u201d Would Like to Send You Notifications"].collectionViews.buttons[@"OK"] tap];

i.e. all \U on \u
