I kept forcefully 9.0 and did what u suggested and ran the appium but still app getting crashed........

I also run this in my terminal when after I start the appium server with the real iPhone device connected ./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js -c xxxxyouruuidnumberxxx:27753 -d

Not sure if you already have done that.

I am running in simulator though i tried that command but showing as No such file or directory error.

ravis-MacBook-Pro:~ monocept$ ./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js -c xxxxyouruuidnumberxxx:27753 -d
-bash: ./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js: No such file or directory
ravis-MacBook-Pro:~ monocept$

Im able to run my script in iPod device with ios 8.4, only prob with Simulator.

The simulator doesn't need the iso-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher then only the real device does.
I am also stuck on the simulator issue. I'm staying up late trying to figure it out. My iPhone real device works too, but just not the simulator. Sorry I'm stuck too.

I get this error.

Oh! U too stucked with the simulator issue. Might be this is the Appium 1.4.13 issue with ios 9.0 in simulators then .... :frowning:

So I guess that's a "No" on you attempting to contact the teams to see if they are ever going to release updated versions of the .app.

I understand they are aware of the release. However, it has been nearly two months since the last release and they have not commented on your request with a release timeline. So I had hoped that you, a member of the Appium Team, could ask them if they were planning on releasing a new version of the .app. That was clearly unrealistic, so I will comment on the github request.

Hi Scott,
I encountered these issues while using Appium version 1.4.13.

I'm trying to use one type of install to get both iOS and Android to work.

If I install appium via cloning Git using ./reset.sh , I have issue with installing for Android and it gives error when running iOS Simulators, but runs fine with a real iPhone Device.

If I install appium via npm, I have issue with it not installing SafariLauncher properly for real iOS device, gets error with iOS simulators, and getting an error with running on real Android device, but it runs fine with Android Simulators.

I spent hours on sorting out the issues and logging them into a bug report.

Issues Reported:
https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/571011

https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/57087

https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/570612

https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/570514

I think these are valid issues, but please pardon my unfamiliarity with Appium if these issues ends up being a setup issue. Please let me know how I can fix these issues.

Thank you for your help.

Hello, I'm having a problem using the GUI app of Appium, when i start the server I get the following error:

I follwed these instructions :slightly_smiling:

There is no reset.sh file in appium.. What am i supposed to do now ?? How can i install Appium ??

@Karthik_Uppoor, @kim-klask

I think the dependencies of Appium have been moved out of the project into individual NPM packages. If I understood the project correctly, the reset.sh script was for ensuring Appium's dependencies were present.

To set up Appium's dependencies now, you can run "npm install" inside Appium's project directory now. NPM should read the package.json file and install the dependencies from there.

@afwang

Can you please explain me in detail, where should I write the test cases, to run on android device. Am kinda new to Appium. Explain with a simple test case (if possible).

After I run these commands :
npm install -g appium
appium

I am getting this :

Appium works on a client-server model. Appium acts as the server, and your test cases behave as the client. If you have ever used Selenium hub before, launching a test with Appium is closely similar.

Without using a specific language, the basic steps you want to take to start a test with Appium are:

  1. Instantiate an Appium driver using the "http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub" URL. If Appium is running remotely, you would use "http://(IP address of Appium's machine):(port Appium server is listening on)/wd/hub"
  2. Use the various WebDriver API commands to interact with the device.
  3. End the driver session.

A quick example in Java:

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("platform", "Android");
caps.setCapability("deviceName", "Android");
caps.setCapability("app", "/path/to/apk");
AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver = new AppiumDriver<>(new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"), caps);
//Find a TextView element on the screen
MobileElement text = driver.findElement(By.className("android.widget.TextView"));
System.out.println("TextView's text is: "+ text.getText());
//Click the text view
text.click();
//driver.tap(1, text, 1); would work as well
driver.quit(); // End the session

No, the GUI version is not available for Linux systems. For my Linux systems, I install Appium using NPM, or I run it from source.
