How to run XCTest (UI test cases) of iOS mobile application in the Azure pipeline?

Tasks added in pipeline:

  1. Install certificate
  2. Install profile
  3. Use Node 13.3.0
  4. pod install
  5. Xcode-> build action as "build-for-testing"
  6. Test with Visual Studio App Center

At this final step "Test with Visual Studio App Center" we get error

Preparing tests... failed.

Error: Unable to find test runner app within /Users/runner/runners/2.164.8/work/1/a/DerivedData/Build/Products/Staging-iphoneos [error]Error: /usr/local/bin/appcenter failed with return code: 3

According to the document Using Azure DevOps for UI Testing, you need make sure the Arguments in the Advanced section of the Xcode task , specify a derived data path, typically using -derivedDataPath DerivedData.

Bsides, You will also need an .ipa file for your application. An you can build the .ipa file in the same Xcode build-for-testing task by checking the Create app package option, or in a separate Xcode build step or in a Bash script step.

Hope this helps.
