@jonahss : When can we have 1.5? Would be great to have for parallel testing.

Really looking forward for solution to run scripts parallel. 
I am able to run sequential and have done the changes suggested by @bhaskar.
You can run scripts in parallel by starting multiple appium servers on multiple ports.
But you should create a new Driver object for each device and each url, not try to put it all on the same driver object.
Hi,
Yes, I'm able to run with only one driver object.As i was mentioned in the following !!!

Bhaskar.

@bootstraponline will this help to bring up parallel iOS simulator
Yes, Facebook has figured out how to do parallel iOS simulators. I've opened an issue on appium to adopt this new tool60.
Hi @bootstraponline and @saikrishna321 ,
Did you achieved parallel execution on IOS devices/simulators ? Please let us know.
Thanks,
Bhaskar.
Facebook figured it out with https://github.com/facebook/WebDriverAgent64 plus https://github.com/facebook/FBSimulatorControl34
Appium integration is being worked on.
@bootstraponline i was able to spin up two iOS Simulators, from commandline can i tell appium to run against a specific UDID ??
Steps to get two simulators
xcrun simctl create "mynewsimulator" "iPhone 6" "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-8-4"
open -n /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/iOS\ Simulator.app/ --args -CurrentDeviceUDID '0F3826F2-2C2A-47E2-869C-7CE043C12F81'
See --udid https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/server-args.md68
I think you'll need to change the ports as well (different for each instance).
@Simon_K @bootstraponline, how do i provide the tmp directories ?

Please help me find a solution to this.
I am using Appium 1.3.4.1, selenium (selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2) and java client 2.1.
Before this I was getting UnreachableBrowserException on the same line, when I tried to have same driver, and define different capabilities for the 2 devcies
@rashiatry
Make sure of the following:
- You have started Appium servers with the correct IP addresses and port numbers on the nodes.
- You need to provide the UDID of the device
- Please provide Appium logs
- Please provide hub log
@rashiatry :- When you use two driver instances for each devices means you are executing two different tests. It may run parallel but I think its not a good idea to develop your tests, because now tomorrow if you want to run test on 3 or 4 devices then again you need to create driver2 and driver3. I don't think its a good solution for long run. I have a solution with single driver instance (for more details send a mail to appiummaster@gmail.com).
