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()

  • created

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_console5
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.

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
