Kif v3.7.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-03-08 // about 6 years ago

  • 🚀 Thanks everyone that has contributed a patch to KIF since the 3.6.0 release!

    👍 We're now validating support for Xcode 7 through 9 on Travis across iOS 8 through 11.

    ✅ Please start using the new and improved viewTester test actor as a replacement and report any issues. We believe the API is much more flexible in how it can be used. We are open to suggestions, but would highly encourage that new tests be written using the APIs exposed by the KIFUIViewTestActor.

    We aren't likely to actually deprecate the tester API anytime soon, however we have added the CFLAG DEPRECATE_KIF_TESTER. This can be used to prevent using the older API if you'd like to use that to enforce consistency across your codebase.

    👌 Improvements:

    🗄 Deprecations:

    • Introduced a new DEPRECATE_KIF_TESTER cflag to prevent direct usage of tester (@justinseanmartin - e103dd2)
