For my daily work I've been using appium 1.4.16 and java_client 3.3.0
I would like to start and to look into the new appium version (currently 1.5.1 / 3.4.1)
Download the new jar and embed into my project it's not an issue, but I was wonder how do I download 2 different appium versions and how do I start the specific version I need ?
I've tried to use "appium-version-manager" , I've installed 1.4.16 / 1.5.0 / 1.5.1 but from some reason I couldn't launch appium ver 1.50 and above while 1.4.16 version was launched without any issues...
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

I have Appium Desktop 1.2.7 which uses Appium 1.7.1 I also have Appium Desktop 1.6.2 which uses Appium 1.8.1. I am using Mac High Sierra.
When I launch AD 1.6.2 from Documents folder, it gave me a warning to keep the AD 1.6.2 in Applications Folder, which I did.
Now the issue is AD 1.2.7 is informed me to move to Applications Folder, which I did.
When I launch AD 1.2.7, it now connects to Appium 1.8.1. How do I change AD to connect to Appium 1.7.1?
Reason I want to do this is because the Appium Desktop Inspector is not working correctly when launching app with AD 1.6.2 and Appium 1.8.1 nor AD 1.2.7 with Appium 1.8.1.
This isn't possible from inside of the Appium Desktop app, but you can install Appium via command line and run sessions from that using the 'Custom Server' tab.
I am getting the following error when attempting to run an Appium script on the Chrome Version 65:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.109)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506106 (8a06c39c4582fbfbab6966dbb1c38a9173bfb1a2),platform=Mac OS X 10.13.4 x86_64)
I have found that the chromedriver version needs to be updated but I can't find a way to successfully do this.
So my question is how do I upgrade the chromedriver version to the latest version?
So first, with each update to Chromedriver there is an increase in the minimum supported version of Chrome => older devices are often unable to be automated with the bundled version.
So its not appium/chromdriver compatibility, its your device browser/ chromdriver versions compatibility check.
To check versions compatibility you go look here
When you figure out whats version works for you, run:
npm install appium --chromedriver_version="2.37"
This version supports Chrome v 64-66
The subjected issue can be resolved (In my case this works) if we pass the additional argument while starting the appium server in the local system.
CLI Command: appium --allow-insecure chromedriver_autodownload
The script will automatically search for the newest chromedriver version that supports the given browser/web view, download it (the hash sum is verified as well for the downloaded archive) and add to the chromedriverChromeMappingFile mapping.
For more details please refer to the official documentation of appium: Compatible chromedriver issue fixes options
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Please download the latest chromedriver from here :
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
Upgrade your appium server, appium java client to latest version.
I followed Appium instructions to upgrade Appium version to 1.5 . But I observed below exception when I start a server from Appium UI (Appium.exe)
Launching Appium server with command: D:\Appium\node.exe lib\server\main.js --address 127.0.0.1 --port 4723 --no-reset --platform-name Android --platform-version 23 --automation-name Appium --log-no-color
> module.js:338
> throw err;
>
^
> Error: Cannot find module 'D:\Appium\node_modules\appium\lib\server\main.js'
Before starting appium server , I checked appium version & it is still 1.4.16.1
Has anyone tried to upgrade on win 64 machine ? Please suggest if any additional setting needs to be done before upgrading / starting server.
Simplest way to Upgrade Appium
Check checkbox from appium settings GUI for "Check for Updates"
Close Appium GUI and re-launch again OR
You will get a push/pop up as new market version released for Appium
Click on upgrade pop up and follow simple steps to upgrade
Appium GUI does not support version 1.5 currently.
https://github.com/appium/appium-dot-exe/issues/170
If you have installed appium using npm then you can easily upgrade appium to 1.5
Below is the command :
npm update -g appium
and if you want to upgrade to any specific version below is the command :
npm install -g appium#1.5.3
You can enter version number after '#' in the command
Following command automatically upgrade appium , internet connection should be require,
npm install appium
Install latest version of Node js application on windows and download and install latest version from Appium site.
Check your Appium version by running Appium application.
There are 2 types in Appium:
1. Appium GUI version
2. Appium Command line
To update appium GUI version, uninstall the older version and then download the latest version from https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/releases and install.
To update the command line version run, npm install -g appium. It will automatically take the latest version and install it.
Now we can download the latest version(1.7.1) from the official website.
when I run appium through the terminal with the command "Appium &" it runs appium 1.4.10
When I run it from my GUI (which I need to do to use the inspector) it runs 1.4.8
Any ideas how I can make it run with the latest version from the GUI? Thanks.
Itseems you have installed appium ver 1.4.10 at a system level, but the gui you installed is of version 1.4.8. So you should probably download the corresponding gui version - 1.4.10 dmg or exe and install the GUI
I have an old 2G iPod Touch for which I'd like to develop a very simple application. I managed to install Xcode 3.2.5 (the first to include the 4.2 SDK) onto my Mac that runs 10.10.4, but it says it isn't compatible when I run it. Next I tried Xcode 4.4.1 (the most recent that can target iOS 4.2), but it also fails to run. So, I'm thinking that Apples tools might be a lost cause when it comes to development for 4.2.1 if I'm not willing to downgrade my Mac to an earlier OSX version.
Do I have any other options for developing an iOS 4.2.1 app using one or more of OSX 10.10.4, Windows 10, and Ubuntu 14.04? Are options like Xamarin more flexible when it comes to the iOS versions they can target? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
