Disable the keyboard auto-hide on iOS

The default mode of the onscreen keyboard in native iOS applications is auto-hide, which means that the keyboard appears during the interaction with a TextBox and is automatically hidden after you enter a text value. On iPhone devices, this may have an impact on the performance of TextBox automation.

To disable the auto-hide mode in native applications, use the Module Set Autohide Keyboard.

You can find the Module in the Standard subset under Standard modules->TBox XEngines->Mobile.

To disable or enable the auto-hide mode, follow the steps below:

1. Specify the test configuration parameters to establish a connection with the device.

2. Add either the Open Mobile App TestStep or the OpenUrl TestStep as a first TestStep in the execution.

3. Drag and drop the Set Autohide Keyboard Module onto your TestCase.

4. From the drop-down in the Value column, select False to disable the auto-hide mode or True to enable it.

5. Set the ActionMode to Select.

In this example, you disable the default auto-hide mode of the onscreen iOS keyboard. Set Autohide Keyboard Module in a TestCase
