Appium server v1.3.0 published

[jonahss]

Yay for iOS8!

Well it was a long time coming, there were alot of changes to how xcode and Instruments works under the hood, but shouldn't make any difference for users. Thanks to @jlipps who slaved on this. And thanks to all the great people who tried out the pre-releases and found all sorts of juicy errors.

Changes in this version:

General

• allow full-reset desired capability to work alongside language/locale desired capabilities

iOS

• add iOS 8 support
• add support for launching an app on the sim just by bundleId (iOS8 only)
• ensure screenshot process uses dir specified in --tmp
• add --isolate-sim-device which removes all other xcode 6 simulators
  before running test (might be necessary for some platforms)
• update mobile safari temp app to include platformVersion so we don't get
  strange version conflicts
• reset push notification privacy settings in between sessions
• fix the flakiness of getting a list of available devices
• auto-refresh Safari if no webviews are found
• rewrite cookie handling code to use code derived from jQuery instead of mozilla docCookie
• force device string when device name starts with "="
• fix a security hole in pullFile() where users could download files on the machine hosting appium

Android

• fix Chromedriver to work with newer versions
• Chromedriver will work if adb is not running on default port
• speed up clearing text fields when there is hint text

Selendroid

• fix sendKeys() in CHROMIUM context
• fix getContexts()

Where can i find dmg

Great job appium team! Thanks for all of the help!!

@wilforeal:

I've been running the 1.3 (ios8 branch up to this point) of appium in concert with using the Appium client dmg app inspector of 1.2.

What I do

a) I use an appium.txt of my choosing.
b) I start up the appium server
c) In a separate terminal, I run appium ruby console (arc) from the same directory as appium.txt above. (assumes appium server installed) https://rubygems.org/gems/appium_console
d) I launch appium client (extracted dmg).
e) I Click the magnifying glass - and inspect away.

What I like about this method is that I never have to muck with my appium dmg client settings. Real good for the workflow.
Cheers.

Hello Jonahss

Thanks for the posting. Currently i am on Windows. So do we have Appium.exe(V1.3.0) available ?

Thank you

[burbank_andy]

What Appium calls and IOS8 and Xcode? There is no reference example!

[Ayswaria]

When can we get .dmg for 1.3.0 ?

[jonahss]

You can just use platformVersion: 8.0 in your desired capabilities to run an iOS8 test.

Hi jonahss,
do you know why the official installation dmg is not published? (will be nice if i can run our tests on iOS8 ).
Thanks...

You can just use platformVersion: 8.0 in your desired capabilities to run an iOS8 test.

Appium, Xcode, IOS8 test has no reference test data。

hi,

Why "8.0" in Platform Version on Appium GUI is not displayed. I have checked it on Appium v 1.3.1 but still its not displayed

Thanks
