KIF 3.7.0

Thanks everyone that has contributed a patch to KIF since the 3.6.0 release!

We're now validating support for Xcode 7 through 9 on Travis across iOS 8 through 11.

Please start using the new and improved viewTester test actor as a replacement and report any issues. We believe the API is much more flexible in how it can be used. We are open to suggestions, but would highly encourage that new tests be written using the APIs exposed by the KIFUIViewTestActor.

We aren't likely to actually deprecate the tester API anytime soon, however we have added the CFLAG DEPRECATE_KIF_TESTER. This can be used to prevent using the older API if you'd like to use that to enforce consistency across your codebase.

Improvements:

• Picker matching improvements containing custom labels (@deepakkumarsharma-tudip - 15094a1 5aed042)
• Added usingAbsenceOfTraits: API (@zadr - 4c71c0e)
• Added acknowledgeSystemAlertWithIndex API (@startupthekid - a21fca3)
• Introduced KIFTextInputTraitsOverrides and suppress autocorrect & autopunctuation by default (@harleyjcooper - 313764c)

Deprecations:

• Introduced a new DEPRECATE_KIF_TESTER cflag to prevent direct usage of tester (@justinseanmartin - e103dd2)
• Marked 'KIFUIViewTestActor clearTextFromFirstResponder' as deprecated, as it is redundant (@justinseanmartin - 3f753ed)
• Dropped official support for Xcode 6, no more CI configuration (@justinseanmartin - 4f29fe0)
• Some functionality is no longer testable on iOS 11, most notably the photo picker and activity sheet are no longer accessible via the app's view hierarchy (@justinseanmartin - d006865)

Infrastructure:

• Added Travis CI configurations and fixed tests to pass reliably on Xcode 8 & 9 (@justinseanmartin - ce27ff5 d006865 168c9e9)
• Readme improvements around KIFEnableAccessibility requirement (@edwinlai - 759aff2)

Bug fixes for Xcode 9 and iOS 11:

• Decreased majorSwipeDisplacement for "swipe to delete" tableview style actions to make it work on iOS 11 (@0xpablo - 5c2ed35)
• Use new tableViewCell private Accessibility API when attempting to find an element match (@banjun - 98e75d6)
• Fixed build warnings for missing autoreleasing attributes (@StefanLage - e0676e1)
• Fixed deactivateAppForDuration: to work on iOS 11 (@justinseanmartin - 4724aae)
• Avoid programmatic scrolling to visible behavior when elements are already onscreen (@justinseanmartin - d006865)
• Adjusted UITableView dragCell:toIndex:error: for behavior change in iOS 11 (@justinseanmartin - d006865)

General bug fixes:

• Safety check on enterText:expectedResult: when validateEnteredText == NO (@justinseanmartin - 57b47fc)
• Check the correct error on writing screenshots (@webventil - b52c375)
• Avoid system symbol collision with cstdlib (@voznesenskym - ff857fd)
• Missing autoreleasepool in the clearTextFromFirstResponder action (James Smith - 07fef14)
• Disable bitcode in the podspec (David Beck - f964e46)
• Avoid common pitfall by asserting KIFEnableAccessibility call before starting tests (@justinseanmartin - c3080fc)

KIF 3.6.0

Added more functionality to the KIFUIViewTestActor to bring it to parity with functionality exposed via KIFUITestActor. I'm converting our call sites in our tests over to using viewTester, and these holes were identified in the process.

Deprecated APIs:

• [viewTester waitToBecomeTappable]
  • This is being replaced with [viewTester waitForTappableView], which returns the UIView that was matched.
• [viewTester enterTextIntoCurrentFirstResponder:]
  • Please use [[viewTester usingFirstResponder] enterText] instead
• [viewTester enterTextIntoCurrentFirstResponder:fallbackView:]
  • There isn't a clear use case about why the fallbackView parameter is needed. If you disagree, please open an issue with information about the use case.

KIF 3.5.2

• Add support for searching forward or backwards in Picker controls
• Misc bug fixes

KIF 3.5.1

• Change minimum OS to 8.0
• Misc fixes

KIF 3.5

• Drop support for iOS 7
• Basic iOS 10 compatibility
• Misc bug fixes

KIF 3.4.2

• Fix framework build issues in Xcode 7.3

KIF 3.4.1

KIF now builds as a framework again

KIF 3.4

This release introduces the KIFUIViewTestActor class, courtesy of @RoyalPineapple, which separates the APIs of finding an element from acting on an element. This reduces the number of methods needed dramatically, and will become the default test actor in KIF 4.0. Please see the pull request #794 for more info.

Travis is finally reliable again, thanks to @justinseanmartin.

In addition there are misc bug fixes and additions, thanks to the tireless work of all of our contributors.
