Hi @mdmmzm,
I’m currently using Katalon Studio 6.0.5 with Appium 1.8.2-beta (this is for iOS 12 support, so if you’re only testing Android, Appium 1.8.1 should work).
When I try to use the Spy Mobile on a screen that is marked as secure, I get the error message below. Clicking the “Details” button shows that the screen is probably secure:
If you click “OK”, the error dialog goes away.
You won’t be able to see the preview of the screen in the Device View window, but you can still capture objects in the Mobile Object Spy window. You’ll need to rely on the name/label of the object to be able to know what you’re capturing, but you will still be able to capture the object by clicking the checkbox to the left of it.
Hope this helps,
Chris
