iOS LoginPage example is confusing

[mokagio]

Hello, thanks for putting this example project together.

I have a little feedback, the login method of the LoginPage for iOS is a bit confusing.

I understand that using the current approach might be faster, but being non standard it add mental overhead on top of the POP architecture, which is already non trivial to grasp at first glance, at least for me.

It might be better to go for the default approach, so that new comers don't have to worry about the side effects and the parameters values.

@mokagio: do you mean the use of fast keyboard entry?

 enter_text(user_field, user, use_keyboard: false)
    enter_text(pass_field, pass, use_keyboard: false, wait: false)
    enter_text(site_field, site, use_keyboard: false, wait: false)

    # If we used use_keyboard: true, this wouldn't be necessary
    # but use_keyboard: false is faster so we use it here
    touch("UITextField") # side-effect to have Add Site button enable
                      # after fast keyboard entry (= UIAutomation setValue)

Yes I'm referring to that

I agree. It is not great for learning. I don't have time right now to change it- would you be interested in making a pull request that changes it?

Hey @krukow sorry for this late reply. I was hoping to find some time to look into this and submit a PR but I haven't yet, and I don't think I'll have time in the next month either 😕

Thanks, and keep up the great work on Calabash 🍻
