@vinayak_joshi1 What version of appium are you using. If it is appium 2 or above you will need to take some other steps to be able to use Katalon Studio since appium 2 is not yet fully supported by Katalon Studio.

It sounds like the Katalon Studio release later this month should include appium 2 support.

If you are on appium 2 or above you can either downgrade appium to version 1.22.3. Download the proof of concept version or use remote execution by starting the appium server manually.

Thanks @kreno
This has worked after downgrading appium to 1.22.1

Hi there @vinayak_joshi1,

We are delighted to inform you that Katalon Studio version 9.1.0 has just been released which also brings support for Appium 2.x. You can learn more in our announcement topic below: :point_down:

We will also proceed to close up this topic. Should you encounter any bug whilst using KS 9.1.0, or have any other questions, feel free to create a topic in Bugs Report or Katalon Studio

Thanks, :sunglasses:
