The Development Guide includes new information about running automated tests for

Xamarin

apps. Note the following limitations:

Currently, simple authentication is not supported for the automated tests.

For the automated tests you must use a test device or simulator that does not already have a

BlackBerry Dynamics

app installed and provisioned. Enterprise Simulation mode does not have this restriction.

There is currently a known issue with

iOS

simulators where automated tests can fail because the keyboard occasionally disappears.
