Access elements on UIWindow XCode UITesting

I have a banner kind UIView, which appears and disappear after certain amount of time on tap of a button action. This is being presented on a UIWindow level. I want to access this banner UIView and UILabel inside the view, for automating the testcase in XCode UITesting. How to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

It shouldn't matter where the banner exists in the app's view hierarchy. UI Testing just uses accessibility to find elements. As long as there is a valid accessibilityIdentifier set on the banner you can find it via a simple query.

Since there is a UILabel inside try finding the banner via that. This checks if the label is in he view hierarchy. 

XCTAssert(app.staticTexts["Banner Text"].exists)

If the view isn't removed but just set to hidden, you will want to use hittable over exists. This will make sure that the element is not only visible, but also not hidden.

XCTAssert(app.staticTexts["Banner Text"].hittable)
