    @Test
    public void verifyBasicScreenRecordingWorks() throws InterruptedException {
        driver.startRecordingScreen(
                new IOSStartScreenRecordingOptions()
                        .withTimeLimit(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
        );
        Thread.sleep(5000);

Hello,

When we can expect appium 1.8 dmg for mac, I am facing a problem, my all iPhone devices updated to 11.3 and now i unable to run appium on it i also tried with install globally but its not performing click. just launch the app.But script working fine with 1.7.2 appium on 10.3 ios version

Telmo_Cardoso · May '18

You have dmg for appium-desktop (https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/releases29).

To automate iOS11.3 I think you should have appium 1.8 and XCode9.3

pushpank · May '18

Appium 1.8 dmz not available on that release note .
yes i already have xcode 9.3 and appium 1.8 (Globally installed by npm) but still not working.
For make sure the element i have to use appium inspector which can be use in dmg

Open a new topic with the your code and logs from appium.

I had an issue with Appium 1.8 version after completing the tests in the result it shows test fail i think when it will try to open app again it’s browser exception.

Daniel_Graham · May '18

Probably over this weekend. But you can use 1.8 from the command line and use the Inspector with it still.

MrZigaS · May '18

Hi,
I tried your code in my project, but it does not work - startRecordingScreen() method does not exist. I’m using Appium version 1.8.0. What could be wrong?

Cheers, Ziga

Telmo_Cardoso · May '18

Its not my code Its the code used to test the java client.

Make sure you are using the latest java client.

MrZigaS · May '18

Oh, I see it comes with Appium Java client 6.0.0-BETA3. Thanks

pushpank · May '18

With command line 1.8 its shows error
"Returned value cannot be converted to WebElement on iOS 11.3 with Appium 1.8.0
Issues/Bugs"

epuri_nag · May '18

@pushpank I am facing the Same Issue(Returned value cannot be converted to WebElement) and when I tried to Down grade it to 1.6.1 It is Showing 1.6.1 in the when i tap “About Appium” from menu on the mac.When i check for Updates its saying “up to date”.Let me know if you could be able to resolve some how Thanks.

pushpank · May '18

1.6.1 is a updated appium. 1.6.1 is a release version and 1.8.0 is appium version both are same

epuri_nag · May '18

Any Idea on downgrading the Appium version so that i can run my tests without errors.

pushpank · May '18

Yes, You can run on appium 1.7.2 version but iOS 11 will not work on it .

olyv · May '18

Hi,

Are those topics described anywhere else?

It sounds really interesting but it would be really great to know what exactly is improved. It’d be nice to know if I have to initiate migration from 1.7.2 to 1.8.0

epuri_nag · May '18

How can I achieve the migration from 1.8 to 1.7.2. Any reference you got Please Let me know.Thanks!
