one sec WDA Automation

Bulk-create iOS Shortcuts automations that trigger "one sec" when apps are opened, driven by WebDriverAgent.

Prerequisites

  1. iPhone connected via USB with developer mode enabled
  2. WebDriverAgent running via xcodebuild:
    xcodebuild test-without-building \
      -xctestrun <path-to>/WebDriverAgentRunner_iphoneos*.xctestrun \
      -destination id=<DEVICE_UDID> \
      -allowProvisioningUpdates
    
  3. WDA accessible at http://localhost:8100 (use pymobiledevice3 remote start-tunnel + port forward if needed)
  4. one sec app installed on the device with Shortcuts integration enabled

Usage

# Test with one app first
python3 /path/to/onesec_setup.py --test

# Run for all apps
python3 /path/to/onesec_setup.py

The script is at: <skill-dir>/scripts/onesec_setup.py

Workflow per App

  1. Tap "+" on Shortcuts Automation tab
  2. Select "App" trigger
  3. Search for and select the target app
  4. Confirm "Is Opened" trigger, tap Done
  5. Search for "one sec" action
  6. Select "Activate one sec (when app opens)"
  7. Tap Done to save

Screenshots are saved to /tmp/onesec_step* and /tmp/onesec_fail* for debugging.

Customization

Edit APPS_TO_PROTECT list in the script. Move completed apps to ALREADY_DONE to skip them on re-runs.

WDA Helpers

The script provides reusable WDA functions (no pip dependencies):

  • wda(method, path, data) — raw HTTP to WDA
  • find(using, value) / find_one(using, value) — element lookup
  • tap(element_id) / tap_name(name) / tap_label(label) — tap elements
  • type_text(text) — type into active element
  • swipe(x1, y1, x2, y2) — drag gesture
  • screenshot(path) — save screenshot as PNG

Troubleshooting

  • WDA connection refused: Ensure xcodebuild test is running and port 8100 is reachable
  • pymobiledevice3 tunnel timeout: Restart tunnel with sudo pymobiledevice3 remote start-tunnel
  • Element not found: Check screenshots in /tmp/onesec_fail_* to see actual UI state
  • App not in picker: App name must match exactly as shown on device home screen
