Hi @rogereyes86,
Katalon Studio 5.10.1 only supports Appium 1.8.1 right now. You can downgrade using npm install -g appium@1.8.1.
Hope this helps,
Chris
I am using Katalon 5.10.1 along with Appium 1.8.1 and it has the same error (java.lang.NullPointerException) when executing the recording function in Mobile.
If anyone knows how to get around the problem, help me.
Hi @Weksley_Santos,
Note that the version of Appium Desktop doesn’t line up with the underlying version of Appium, so you’ll need to get Appium Desktop 1.6.3 (includes Appium 1.8.1) in order to support Katalon Studio 5.10.1:
Try installing that version instead to see if it helps.

Hi Soumya
Did you found any solution for your above issue.
As same i am facing
Hello Guys,
I am using Katalon 5.10.1 and appium version 1.8.1 - but unable to capture the objects
Has anyone got a proper solution for this case.
Hi @raghavendrap,
Are you using Appium Desktop 1.8.1 or Appium Server 1.8.1? Unfortunately, the version numbers don’t line up.
If you downloaded an installer to get Appium, it’s probably Appium Desktop, so I recommend getting Appium Desktop 1.6.3: https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/releases/tag/v1.6.3
If you got Appium from npm, then you can verify your version by running appium -v from he command line or use npm install -g appium@1.8.1 to install it.

I am facing very same problem while trying to connect my emulator.
My appium version : 1.14.1 and Katalon Studio Version : 6.04, any help would be appreciated.
I am facing this very same problem while trying to connect my emulator and run mobile recording / spy mobile!!
My appium version : 1.14.1 and Katalon Studio Version : 6.04, any help would be appreciated.
As far as I know, Katalon Studio only supports up to Appium 1.12.1, so could you try downgrading to that version? I also recommend updating to at least Katalon Studio 6.2, but 6.3.3 is the latest official release.
Hope this helps,
Chris
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply, I really appreciate it. appium 1.12.1 setup getting processed, Katalon is suggesting to upgrade to version 6.3.3, would that be any problem?
I haven’t had any issues with Katalon Studio 6.3.3 so far and I’ve been using it for about a week.
– Chris
That’s reassuring. Funny Thing is after installing npm 1.12.1 I am getting this new error uIautomator2 is not initiated (Still using Katalon version 6.04) or do you think after katalon upgrade this would vanish??
katalon have no direct connection with node.js, it is dependant on the right java version only (openjdk8). i assume your issues are related to the third-party drivers used
As far as I can tell from the release notes, Katalon Studio 6.2.0 is the first version to support Appium 1.12.1, so I’m hoping that by upgrading, you’ll be back in sync.

Thank you very much for your constant feedback on this issue, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately getting this annoying log [ No ‘uiautomator’ process has been found {“code”:“ECONNRESET”} ] while starting application for test, error. showing [ com.kms.katalon.core.appium.driver.SwipeableAndroidDriver.execute(SwipeableAndroidDriver.java:1)
at io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver.execute(AppiumDriver.java:1)
at io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver.execute(AndroidDriver.java:1) ] at the console along with others related to this kind.
I hope you find time to help me with this. Again, Many Thanks.
I am Just trying sample mobile recording project from katalon studio. I think its an issue with android sdk, when katalon studio downloaded only two folder [ build tools & platform tools ] got downloaded, is that how it’s supposed to be or something else is missing which consists uiautomatorviewer?
To make sure you have the latest Android SDK, you can try installing Android Studio - I don’t think Katalon comes with the necessary libraries.
Hope this helps,
Chris
You’re right, I got android-sdk-cli downloaded problem got solved. Thank you very much for all your feedback.
