Simple Calabash/Sikuli example for a classic problem: Facebook login

Motivation

This simple example provides one solution for a classic problem: automating Facebook login scenarios for iOS.

Facebook iOS SDK example application Scrumptious is used for a demo.

Problem

When automation Facebook login scenarios application context is switched from native application to a browser. Unfortunately, Calabash does not have a control in that browser window.

Solution

When working with simulators, one solution is to handle Facebook login in a browser utilising Sikuli framework: http://www.sikulix.com/.
