XCUITest disable keyboard swipe

AppUITests.swift

import XCTest

final class AppUITests: XCTestCase {

    override func setUpWithError() throws {
        SpringboardHelper.showKeyboardIfNeeded()
    }
}

SpringboardHelper.swift

import XCTest

class SpringboardHelper {
    private static var keyboardDismissed = false

    /// Call this from the setUp() function of any UI test that deals with the keyboard.
    static func showKeyboardIfNeeded() {
        if !keyboardDismissed {
            let springBoard = XCUIApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.springboard")
            springBoard.activate()
            springBoard.windows.firstMatch.swipeDown(velocity: .slow)
            springBoard.windows.firstMatch.tap()
            springBoard.windows.firstMatch.swipeUp(velocity: .slow)

            keyboardDismissed = true
        }
    }
}

This solution has worked very well for me, but I have one question. The line 12, what does the single tap() do? At least, it has worked for me without tap().

The single tap would trigger a tap somewhere on the center of the screen/device. Ideally just abit above the keyboard.

I believe that i added it because If you dont 'tap' after the swipe down - it doesnt dismiss the search results. Manually trying it now myself in the simulator - it doesn't seem to be doing that.

Thanks for reply! I got it that there might be search results. If I find any issues, I'll let you know 🙏
