Landscape support for iOS

[johntmcintosh]

iOS testing currently does not support landscape mode. (I am not sure about the current status of landscape support with Android)

As a quick test, download the samples:

maestro download-samples
cd ./samples
unzip sample.zip
xcrun simctl install Booted Wikipedia.app

And update the iOS flow to:

appId: org.wikimedia.wikipedia
---
- launchApp
- tapOn: "Search Wikipedia"
- inputText: "tacos"

Launch the simulator and rotate into landscape mode, and then run:

maestro test ios-flow.yaml

The test reports that it passes, but it does not navigate into the search screen to type into the text.

Running maestro studio shows a mismatch where the overlay content appears to be laid out in landscape, but the image of the app's screen is rotated 90 degrees:

NOTE: This was discussed in a couple of slack threads, but I'm adding a ticket here so myself and anyone else interested can follow along for status updates or to be notified when support is available.

I have the same issue. I have an app that only runs in landscape mode on iPad and maestro mismatches all the elements. If I test with portrait orientation, everything works.

Hey guys, somebody knows if there is any progress regarding this issue?
That's the only blocker we have to use maestro in our tests.

I'm having the same issue for an Ipad app that is mainly used in landscape mode.

Hi there! 👋
I'm having the same issue with my project in which it's specifically designed in landscape mode. Is there any update or ongoing investigations about this?
Thanks for the update! 👍

[ArthurSav]

Hi, this is something we'd like to add but we can't provide an ETA yet. We'll update this thread with news.

What is the status with this? It should be set with a high priority.
That's not an enhancement, it's a really nasty defect. It's been 6 months already, and no one has done anything about it.

same issue. we have a video player we can toggle to fullscreen and all the elements are mismatched in maestro studio

[ccfiel]

Still no updates? Is there any roadmap of the project?

[ccfiel]

This is fine in android but in iOS was not fine, it will just complete the steps but not executed in the emulator. See video. @ArthurSav

any updates?
we have a video player in our app and we basically can't test anything in fullscreen mode because of this. both iOS and Android.

I have issue with Android tablet in Maestro Cloud (everything is fine in local).

[raymond-tetteh]

I have the same issue. When is this going to be worked on?

[dinisnunes1]

Is there any news on this feature? It's really preventing us to use Maestro for our UI tests.

Hello, when do you think that landscape support will be in your pipeline? With the new European Legal Regulations on Accessibility, applications will need to support landscape by June 2025. It would be great to be able to test in landscape at least a couple of month before. Thanks

re-opening as this had to be reverted in v1.37.9

[tkhvaira]

good day, any movement with this issue, really looking forward to this fix

[bartekpacia]

This is already fixed on our main branch. See PRs #1974 and #2050.

[bartekpacia]

We'll release this soon as part of Maestro version 1.39.

[barbaramartina]

Thanks. When is the version going to be released?

[bartekpacia]

Either tomorrow or next week.

[klyovan]

Either tomorrow or next week.

Hi Bartek, just checked your unreleased version (CLI 1.39.0-dev.1) and now the landscape works fine, but the native popups are not displaying correctly and it is also not possible to click on them with Maestro, could you please check this case ?

Tested on simulator: Ipad Pro 11-inch (M4)
This popup is called by native code but invoked from Flutter using platform channel
If I try to debug it using maestro studio, I can see that the nodes for cancel and continue item exists on the screen, but they are flattened and positioned to the left and below, but still not clickable using either the studio or the yaml file.

[bartekpacia]

The currently available draft version doens't reflect the latest master. Let me relase a new one in a few minutes.

[bartekpacia]

Please check out v1.39.0-dev.2:

# before doing this, uninstall all existing maestro versions
brew update
brew install [email protected]

[klyovan]

The issue with native popup still there
