Description

For issues

We have recently started automating iPhone safari with robot framework selenium. Sometimes we get "Unable to find a matching set of capabilities" when we try to run iPhone safari. I searched online but could not find any issue like this. I feel there is some capabilities I am missing but similar capabilities is working when I used python language binding. Please help.

Steps to reproduce the issue

${capabilities}= Evaluate sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].DesiredCapabilities.SAFARI sys, selenium.webdriver

Set To Dictionary ${capabilities} platformName=ios
Set to Dictionary ${capabilities} browserName=safari
Log To Console ${capabilities}

Open Browser url=https://www.google.com desired_capabilities=${capabilities} remote_url=http://localhost:4449/wd/hub

Expected behavior and actual behavior

When I try to run open browser for safari iphone no matter what I do I am not able to launch the browser.

I can run the similar code when I use python binding with same capabilities.

`
from selenium import webdriver

caps = {'browserName': 'safari', 'platformName': 'ios'}
driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4449/wd/hub', desired_capabilities=caps)
driver.get('http://www.google.com')
`

Environment

Browser: iOS Version 14.6
Browser driver: Safari 15.5 (17613.2.7.1.8)
Operating System: Mac

Libraries

  • Selenium: 4.3.0

Research direction

Start by comparing the Robot Framework capabilities shown in the issue with the Python binding example, then read the Selenium Grid session and matching-factory logs. Done means identifying a reproducible capability or configuration change that allows the iOS Safari session to launch through the reported remote URL.
