To overcome this, if you want to open a URL while testing, you can follow the below steps:

1. Launch the Safari browser

2. Navigate to the address bar

3. Enter the URL and press enter.

You can refer to the below code(in Java) for the same:

driver.activateApp(“com.apple.mobilesafari”);

Thread.sleep(2000);

driver.findElementByName(“TabBarItemTitle”).click();

Thread.sleep(3000);

driver.findElementByName(“URL”).sendKeys(“<url>”);

Thread.sleep(3000);

driver.findElementByAccessibilityId(“Go”).click();

Thread.sleep(5000);
