#Set up WebDriverAgent

Before getting started, you need to set up the iOS development environment:

• macOS (required for iOS development)
• Xcode and Xcode command line tools
• iOS Simulator or real device

Configure WebDriverAgent

Before using Midscene iOS, you need to prepare the WebDriverAgent service.

Please refer to the official documentation for setup:

• Simulator Configuration: Run Prebuilt WDA
• Real Device Configuration: Real Device Configuration

Verify WebDriverAgent

After completing the configuration, you can verify whether the service is working properly by accessing WebDriverAgent's status endpoint:

Access URL: http://localhost:8100/status

Correct Response Example:

{
  "value": {
    "build": {
      "version": "10.1.1",
      "time": "Sep 24 2025 18:56:41",
      "productBundleIdentifier": "com.facebook.WebDriverAgentRunner"
    },
    "os": {
      "testmanagerdVersion": 65535,
      "name": "iOS",
      "sdkVersion": "26.0",
      "version": "26.0"
    },
    "device": "iphone",
    "ios": {
      "ip": "10.91.115.63"
    },
    "message": "WebDriverAgent is ready to accept commands",
    "state": "success",
    "ready": true
  },
  "sessionId": "BCAD9603-F714-447C-A9E6-07D58267966B"
}

If you can successfully access this endpoint and receive a similar JSON response as shown above, it indicates that WebDriverAgent is properly configured and running.
