Having trouble with Android config. What versions of Mac OS, Appium server, Appium app, Android API, etc. are required/supported?

what have you tried?

jblaze 2017-02-02 23:14:48 UTC #3

Mac: 10.12.3 (Sierra)
Appium server: 1.6.3
Appium GUI: 1.5.3
Android: 5.1, API 22

what is your test script code?

I'm not using a test script. I am trying to get the Appium app working, so that I can use the inspector

define the following then in the GUI

Android
App path (have the app on your desktop somewhere)
Device Name (have the emulator running)
Android SDK Path (make sure this is for sure where the sdk is)

General settings
Server address (have this be the ip address of the machine)
Port (use a port that isn't take. I'm using 4725 for mine)

Launch GUI

FYI: creating a bunch of threads isn't going to help in the future

Thanks. I tried that, but got same results. I also tried a different emulator.
It's odd that whether an emulator is running or not, no errors are reported in the log. In fact, i can change some settings (such as Android SDK Path) to gobbedlygook and still not see any errors.

just wonder how you tried 1.6.X version? this version is only command line. all is needed to start appium on mac after installing command line version is print: "appium" in command line and it will start.

as result of start it will show:

aleks:~ Aleksei$ appium
