Appium 1.8.0 Release

COOLQA · Apr '18

Guys, any introduction about this setting?

Telmo_Cardoso · Apr '18

I think that refers to this PR (https://github.com/appium/appium-uiautomator2-server/pull/11117)

You can explore it by using the tests they implemented, such as https://github.com/vmaxim/appium-uiautomator2-server/blob/master/app/src/test/java/io/appium/uiautomator2/model/NotificationListenerTests.java11

The settings enableNotificationListener is in documentation in here: http://appium.io/docs/en/advanced-concepts/settings/#supported-settings11

                        .withTimeLimit(Duration.ofSeconds(10))

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

Telmo_Cardoso · May '18

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

ramana.sadaneni · May '18

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 .
