Does this version support Xcode 10 ? As far as I know Katalon 5.7.1 had no support for the latest release of Xcode i.e. Xcode 10. When I was testing an iOS app on Katalon, I am facing an error (attached in image)

This version does not support Xcode 10. It will be evaluated and supported in later versions.

Please help! This error below is what I have been getting over and over again whenever I want to run my script in Mozilla firefox. This error is what I got when I ran a sample project in katalon studio.

Test Cases/Common Test Cases/Login FAILED because (of) Unable to click on object ‘Object Repository/Page_CuraHomepage/btn_MakeAppointment’ (Root cause: com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.BrowserNotOpenedException: Browser is not opened

Hi can you tell us the name of the sample project ? Or a picture of the script of the test case in that project ? Looking at the error message however I guess WebUI.openBrowser(‘URL’) was not called ?

https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/webui-open-browser.html#example

I really appreciate your prompt response.

This is it. Could not load on mozilla firefox

This is the case on chrome.

One more thing: Whenever I want to record a web page, Katalon is asking me to specify object first (which I don’t have prior knowledge of).
