How do you interact with OS specific pop-ups in UI testing?

I am trying to UI Test a cross-platform application that gets permission to the device's camera. To do so, it pulls up a pop-up box where the user must "ALLOW" or "DENY" access to the camera. How can I interact with this pop-up in my UI tests?

    Answer from @MatthewRegul from this post. NOt everyone can access that forum so copying answer below:

    This should help you get started...

    Query for the Alert Control
    iOS :: app.Query(c=>c.ClassFull("_UIAlertControllerView"))
    Android :: app.Query(c => c.Class("AlertDialogLayout"))

    Query for the OK button on the Alert Control
    iOS :: app.Query(c=>c.Marked("OK").Parent().ClassFull("_UIAlertControllerView"))
    Android :: app.Query(c=>c.Marked("OK").Parent().Class("AlertDialogLayout"))

    @JGoldberger Thank you!

    Disclaimer: This only works with application-contained dialog alerts. It does NOT work with OS-generated popups, such as those produced when asking permission to the camera, etc.

    Ah, sorry.

    According to this thread, those should be auto accepted: https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/79899/how-to-ignore-system-dialogs-for-ios-platforms-when-running-tests-in-test-cloud

    You may want to reach out to App Center support if they are not: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/general/support-center

    @JGoldberger No worries! Thanks for your help. Yeah - they are currently not auto-accepted, but I am developing in a cross-platform app using .NET 2.0 Standard so that could be part of the issue. Thanks again!
