How to get available contexts in iOS application

I am trying to get the available contexts in hybrid iOS app. However, when I do 

Set<String> text =  ((IOSDriver) driver).getContextHandles();
  System.out.println(text);

I get below error:

org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver cannot be cast to io.appium.java_client.IOSDriver

When I try to create AppiumDriver with:

driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

It is not allowing to create AppiumDriver. How to get available contexts in iOS app.

If you are using a real device you need to run ios-webkit-debug-proxy so inside your driver set the capability called webkitDebugProxyPor" to the port you want, and also activate the capability called startIWDP.

Make sure you have installed ios-webkit-debug-proxy, which is easily installed using brew install ios-webkit-debug-proxy

Once you have everything up and running you should be able to see the web context.

Declare driver as type AppiumDriver. Use this a reference for IOSDriver. Then it would work. At the moment, it seems driver variable is of type of remotewebdriver.

So following code will work

AppiumDriver driver;

driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Set<String> text =  ((IOSDriver) driver).getContextHandles();
  System.out.println(text);

AppiumDriver is abstract driver which you can use as base type reference to instantiated driver whether IOS or Andriod
