Workshop: Engineering RemoteXPC: Building Wireless iOS Automation with Appium | TestMu 2026
Running large-scale iOS automation has traditionally required keeping devices physically connected over USB. As device labs grow, cable management, unstable USB connections, limited observability, and host constraints become common sources of flaky automation.
RemoteXPC changes this model by enabling secure network-based communication with iOS devices. Built as an open source implementation of Apple's RemoteXPC protocol, appium-ios-remotexpc provides the communication layer that allows Appium to interact with modern iOS devices wirelessly while exposing services such as diagnostics, logging, and device management.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how RemoteXPC fits into the Appium ecosystem, set up wireless communication with real iOS devices, explore the services it provides, and understand how these capabilities are being integrated into the Appium XCUITest Driver.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will understand when to use RemoteXPC, how to migrate existing workflows, and how wireless device communication enables more scalable and reliable iOS automation.
Leave with the knowledge and hands-on experience to connect iOS devices wirelessly using RemoteXPC, integrate it into Appium workflows, and understand how it improves the scalability and reliability of iOS test automation.
