yes, that's where they live right now. It's not published yet. The relevant bits are in the osx setup doc.

Hi There,
FIrst of all thanks everybody for getting this 1.3 beta out.
Initial tests of mine seem really good. The documentation here listed was quite helpful!

So unfortunately, while I have success in the simulator I do not have success with the device.
I made sure that in device settings > UI Automation is turned on.

I am running from the latest in the iOS 8 branch.
I run node like this. I verified the bundle Identifier in Xcode > Devices:
node . -U 4899a57feb80cdc32d31a23b603a769b3d9214c6 --app "com.blackboard.testing.enterprise.grader"

The test starts, but instruments is now throwing this error:
[INST STDERR] 2014-10-07 10:50:14.241 instruments[7441:1307] WebKit Threading Violation - initial use of WebKit from a secondary thread.

Not sure if this is an issue or if there's something with my setup.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Eric

Sorry, one caveat here is that I'm still on the latest beta of iOS 8 when I ran this test. I had side-by-side xcode 5 and 6. I made sure xcode-select was pointed to Xcode 6. Still, perhaps it's possible this error goes away when I upgrade to GM?

Hi,

noob question

is there any why that i can update my Appium App.dmg to v 1.3.0

JessicaSachs · Oct '14

@sai_tvs No.

At the earliest, it will be when the official version is released. After that the Appium.app contributors will need to prep and compile the .dmg for release.

Thanks @JessicaSachs

You'll want to do
git checkout v1.3.0-beta1

before you do

./reset.sh

to use the beta version.

## Running Appium from Source

So you want to run Appium from source and help fix bugs and add features?
Great! Just fork the project, make a change, and send a pull request! Please
have a look at our [Style Guide](style-guide-2.0.md) before getting to work.
Please make sure the unit and functional tests pass before sending a pull
request; for more information on how to run tests, keep reading!

Make sure you read and follow the setup instructions in the README first.

### Setting up Appium from Source

An Appium setup involves the Appium server, which sends messages back and forth
between your test code and devices/emulators, and a test script, written in
whatever language binding exists that is compatible with Appium. Run an
instance of an Appium server, and then run your test.

Hi,

First of all I want to say thank you to the Appium team for creating such beautiful framework. I am really enjoying the benefit of Appium.

For now I have a question that does 1.3.0 fix the issue of 1 second delay? I have pulled out the source code and tried to run from there but still got that delay.

Thanks.

@jlipps opening soft keyboard did the trick for sendKeys but I wonder what you would do for appium sauce cloud when you are going to have ios8 simulators there

jlipps · Oct '14

we'll have it set correctly in our image.

Hi guys, any one can tell me how I can use methods such as swipe in the new Beta 1.3.

I am using eclipse to run my tests against a iPhone 6 simulator

Karen_Shieh · Oct '14

Hello... I downladed the following file to my mac, and unzipped the file

https://bitbucket.org/appium/appium.app/downloads/Appium-1.3-beta.zip6

Now... How do I set it up.... so that I can launch the appium server and run appium-1.3-beta with a real IOS device with IOS 8.0 on it?

ChrisK · Oct '14

to everyone asking how to run from source,

if you have downloaded the zip then unzip it in a folder and using your terminal cd into said folder and :

./reset.sh
sudo ./bin/authorize-ios.js # for ios only
$ node .

Hi Shermaneric,

I encounter the same issue. When running my tests, on a real device a get the following error "WebKit Threading Violation - initial use of WebKit from a secondary thread."

I am using an iPad2 with the latest version of iOS 8 and 'Ui Automation' option is turned on.
Were you able to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance,
Ioan
