iOS Automation Support
Midscene can drive WebDriver tools to support iOS automation.
By adapting a visual model solution, the automation process works with any app tech stack—whether built with Native, Flutter, React Native, or Lynx. Developers only need to focus on the final experience when debugging UI automation scripts.
The iOS UI automation solution comes with all the features of Midscene:
- Supports zero-code trial using Playground.
- Supports JavaScript SDK.
- Supports automation scripts in YAML format and command-line tools.
- Supports HTML reports to replay all operation paths.

Understand WebDriverAgent
WebDriver is a standard protocol established by W3C for browser automation, providing a unified API to control different browsers and applications. The WebDriver protocol defines the communication method between client and server, enabling automation tools to control various user interfaces across platforms.
Through the efforts of the Appium team and other open source communities, the industry now has many excellent libraries that convert desktop and mobile device automation operations into WebDriver protocol. These tools include:
- Appium - Cross-platform mobile automation framework
- WebDriverAgent - Service dedicated to iOS device automation
- Selenium - Web browser automation tool
- WinAppDriver - Windows application automation tool
Midscene adapts to the WebDriver protocol, which means developers can use AI models to perform intelligent automated operations on any device that supports WebDriver. Through this design, Midscene can not only control traditional operations like clicking and typing, but also:
- Understand interface content and context
- Execute complex multi-step operations
- Perform intelligent assertions and validations
- Extract and analyze interface data
On iOS platform, Midscene connects to iOS devices through WebDriverAgent, allowing you to control iOS apps and system using natural language descriptions.
