iOS Support for Patrol Framework Testing on LambdaTest

Open flxapps opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

I would like to run Patrol tests on LambdaTest real devices for both Android and iOS platforms.

According to the current Patrol documentation, the integration appears to only cover Android. I'm unclear whether:

  1. iOS support is not yet implemented in the LambdaTest infrastructure, or
  2. iOS support exists but is undocumented/incomplete in the integration guide

What I need:

  • Confirmation on iOS Patrol test support status
  • If supported: Complete documentation for iOS configuration, including:
    • Required build commands and app packaging
    • iOS-specific capabilities and device configuration
    • Working example with both platforms
    • If not yet supported: Timeline or workaround recommendations for iOS testing with modern Flutter frameworks

Context:

I'm currently using Flutter Integration Driver (Appium-based) for cross-platform testing, but Patrol offers significant advantages:

  • Native Flutter integration with better performance
  • Intuitive Dart API without WebDriver abstractions
  • Built-in native automation (permissions, notifications, gestures)
  • Superior debugging capabilities

Having complete iOS + Android support for Patrol on LambdaTest would enable truly modern cross-platform Flutter testing.
