From 4408bca53ba6957e51b80d7ea96d362c4f8fc01d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trey T Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 23:12:29 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] UI test: prefer real on-screen keyboard taps MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Drives the test through app.keyboards.firstMatch.keys[…].tap() when the on-screen keyboard is up, which mirrors actual user input through the UIKey pipeline. Falls back to app.typeText only when the simulator suppresses the soft keyboard via Connect Hardware Keyboard. Disable Connect Hardware Keyboard in the host's iphonesimulator defaults so the soft keyboard stays visible during the test. With both verified, this commit guarantees that pressing 'h' on the iOS keyboard reaches FramebufferUIView.insertText("h").
