robotframework-ioslibrary is a Robot Framework test library for all your iOS automation needs.
It uses Calabash iOS Server to communicate with your instrumented iOS application similar to how Selenium WebDriver talks to your web browser.
Lovely Systems does not not support this package anymore and do not have any follow up package in the same area. If anyone is interested to continue our efforts and would like to manage the contributors in this open source project, feel free to fork the package and give me a hint, so I can create a link to your fork!
