iOS Permissions Testing

This testing was performed after SAF-731 and SAF-738 had been fixed - to test those fixes and cover the space looking for further bugs.

Test Space

iPhone model - we stripe, but assume irrelevant
Location Services disabled on device - not tested for now
iOS version - 12 & 13 - we assume we can ignore sub-versions
Notifications: Enable / Maybe Later. When Enabled: Yes / No
Location: Allow / Maybe Later. When Allowed: Always / When App is Open / Once Only / No

2 x 4 x 8 = 64 possibilities - we won’t test them all.

We'll cover all mainlines (i.e. permissions granted) on both iOS versions - 8 cases

Then a selection of rejection case - 8 more

I’m not able to test closing app (at which point it should ask to uplift permissions from “Allow while using App” to “Always” on Perfecto) - users of real devices like Jacob Jaffe (Deactivated) and Jeri Levine may be able to do some testing here.

TC#	iOS version	Notifications	Location	Notification Choice	Location Choice	Device	Notes	On closing app
1	12	Enable	Allow	Allow	Allow while using App	iPhone 7+	Looks good.	Closing app usign Perfecto controls did not trigger a pop-up askign for better location permissions. But I don’t know if this faithfully replicates closing an app via iOS.
2	12	ML	ML	Allow	Allow while using App	iPhone 7+	All good.	Not Tested
3	12	Enable	ML	Allow	Allow while using App	iPhone XS	Seem to have hit a bug. When I finally get to enable location settings, I choose “Only when using the App”. I am then taken into the Settings screen. I have no idea why - all permissions look to be set correctly. SAF-760	Not Tested
4	12	ML	Allow	Allow	Allow while using App	iPhone XS	All good.	Not Tested
5	13	Enable	Allow	Allow	Allow while using App	iPhone 7	All good.	Not Tested
6	13	ML	ML	Allow	Allow while using App	iPhone 7	Once onboarded, asks for location first, then Notifications.	Not Tested
7	13	Enable	ML	Allow	Allow while using App	iPhone 7 Plus	Seem to have hit a bug. When I finally get to enable location settings, I choose “Only when using the App”. I am then taken into the Settings screen. I have no idea why - all permissions look to be set correctly. SAF-760
8	13	ML	Allow	Allow	Allow while using App	iPhone 7	All good	Not Tested
9	12	Enable	Allow	No	Never	iPhone 6	All good	Settings: Location: Never Notifications: Off
10	12	ML	Allow	No	Only Once	iPhone 6	All good	Settings: Location: While Using Notifications: Not shown Re-open the app and choose no to allow notifications -- now the settings option for notifications appears. If I open the app and allow notifications, it takes me to the iOS settings. If I then allow notifications, I am fully onboarded.
11	12	Enable	ML	No	Always	iPhone 6	All good	Settings: Location: Always Notifications: Off
12	12	ML	ML	No	Never	iPhone 6	All good	Settings: Location: While Using Notifications: Not shown Re-open the app and allow location sharing while using the app. It asks whether I'd like to allow notifications. Choose "Don't Allow" and you are taken to the Settings page, which shows that notifications are off. This seems appropriate. Turn on notifications in Settings, and the app shows that I am fully onboarded.
13	13	Enable	Allow	No	Only Once	iPad mini 4	All good	Settings: Location: Ask Notifications: Off Re-open the app and allow location sharing while using the app. It asks whether I'd like to allow notifications. If I hit "Allow Notifications", I am taken to the Settings page, which shows that notifications are off. This seems appropriate. Turn on notifications in Settings, and the app shows that I am fully onboarded.
14	13	ML	Allow	No	Only When App is Open	iPad mini 4	All good	Settings: Location: While Using Notifications: Off Re-open the app and click "Allow Notifications". I am taken to the Settings page, which shows that notifications are off. This seems appropriate. Turn on notifications in Settings, and the app shows that I am fully onboarded.
15	13	Enable	ML	No	Never	iPad mini 4	All good	Settings: Location: Not shown Notifications: Off Re-open the app and click "Allow Location Access". A pop-up asks if I'd like to allow location access, so I clicked "Allow Once". I am taken to the Settings page, which shows Location: Ask Notifications: Off which is correct. If I go back to the app and click "Allow Location Access" and set it to "While Using The App" and turn on notifications, the app shows that I am fully onboarded.
16	13	ML	ML	No	Always	iPad mini 4	All good	Settings: Location: While Using Notifications: Off Re-open the app and click "Allow Notifications". I am taken to the Settings page, which shows that notifications are off. This seems appropriate. Turn on notifications in Settings, and the app shows that I am fully onboarded.
