问题:

When I try to run a UI Automation script on iOS 5 devices I am getting the following error:

"An error occurred while trying to run the script."

The same script is running perfectly in the simulator or on an iOS 4.3.3 device.

How can I solve this problem?

回答1:

This should fix this issue:

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

回答2:

On devices you should explicity allow to run UI Automation scripts.

Go to Settings -> Developer
Switch Enable UI Automation to on

After turning the option on, the error went away and everything worked as expected.

回答3:

I would try closing xcode and starting the automation script without xcode running. I had an issue where the process was attached to xcode, when I attempted to run from instruments, xcode got stuck on a breakpoint/crash and I couldn't proceed.

The solution I'm proposing is run Instruments independent of xcode.
