Appium log shows desiredCapabilities being posted, but Appium isn't picking them up

[Ben_Little]

I have upgrade to 1.4.3 and now, Appium is no longer picking up the desiredCapabilities.

As you can see below within the logs, the values are posted and then immediately afterwards, Appium fails because of this:

Why would the desiredCapabilities not get picked up? Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Xcode - 6.3.2

i think "version" is the capability not "browserVersion" .

I can see the same issue on appium, after the last code nothing showing on emulator or in code.

And it just repeats this log, and doesn’t execute my clicks. Any solution yet?
