While performing app automation testing with appium on LambdaTest Grid, you may face a scenario where you would like to automatically handle permission pop-ups. You may choose to either accept all permission pop-ups or dismiss all of them. You can handle the case as mentioned below separately for Android or iOS apps. You can refer to sample test repo here.

The following is an example on how to set permissions in the capabilities. You can make the change in the vanilla_android.java and vanilla_ios.java file:

Below is the vanilla_android.java example shown:

public class vanilla_android { public static String userName = System.getenv("LT_USERNAME") == null ? "LT_USERNAME" //Add username here : System.getenv("LT_USERNAME"); public static String accessKey = System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY") == null ? "LT_ACCESS_KEY" //Add accessKey here : System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY"); private static AppiumDriver driver; public static void main(String args[]) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException { try { DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Galaxy S20"); capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "11"); capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android"); capabilities.setCapability("isRealMobile", true); capabilities.setCapability("app", "APP_ID"); //Enter your app url capabilities.setCapability("deviceOrientation", "PORTRAIT"); capabilities.setCapability("build", "Java Vanilla - iOS"); capabilities.setCapability("name", "Sample Test Java"); capabilities.setCapability("console", true); capabilities.setCapability("network", false); capabilities.setCapability("visual", true); capabilities.setCapability("devicelog", true); //GRANT PERMISSIONS FOR ANDROID capabilities.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", true); //ACCEPT ALERTS FOR IOS capabilities.setCapability("autoDismissAlerts", true); //DISMISS ALERTS FOR IOS capabilities.setCapability("autoAcceptAlerts", true); driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("https://" +userName + ":" + accessKey + "@mobile-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub"), capabilities); MobileElement color = (MobileElement) driver.findElement(MobileBy.id("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/color")); color.click(); MobileElement text = (MobileElement) driver.findElement(MobileBy.id("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/Text")); //Changes the text to proverbial text.click(); //toast is visible MobileElement toast = (MobileElement) driver.findElement(MobileBy.id("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/toast")); toast.click(); //notification is visible MobileElement notification = (MobileElement) driver.findElement(MobileBy.id("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/notification")); notification.click(); } catch (AssertionError a) { ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("lambda-status=failed"); a.printStackTrace(); } // The driver.quit statement is required, otherwise the test continues to execute, leading to a timeout. driver.quit(); } }

Execute the following commands to install the required dependencies:

mvn clean install

The tests can be executed in the terminal using the following command:

Android:

mvn test -P android

iOS:

mvn test -P ios

Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on the LambdaTest App Automation Dashboard.
