Comments

Apple engineer work around:

"The second possibility is that you are running into a problem that sometimes occurs where the application finishes launching but the splash screen doesn't immediately disappear and events dispatched to the app are not handled properly.

To try to work around that issue, consider placing a small delay at the beginning of your test (sleep(1) should be enough)."
