Hi
I am trying to use Katalon(6.2.0) for mobile testing by following all mentioned instructions.
I am using ,
Device - Redmi Note 7 Pro .
Appium 1.13.0
android 9.x
with android sdk

my device is connected with PC
Also , My mobile is in developer mode.
I have enabled USB Dubugging , Install via USB and USB Debugging(Security setting) under developer option of phone
My Phone - USB connected to transfer files (Not on charging mode / Photo transfer i.e. PTP)

Even I checked adb devices command through command line under platform tools folder under android sdk. But List showing an empty set.

Still facing the issue -

  1. My device is not listed under Mobile recorder ->Configurations -> Device name
    And/Or
    2.My device is not listed under Android devices.

The earliest response in this regard would be highly appreciated!

Hi @poorva.kulkarni19,

This also happened to me, and resolved it by just updating to a later java version (jdk-12.0.2).

Hi @leninkumar.subramani

This message you

“Me too face the same issue, Now it’s solved. i requested to my system admin to enable the mobile access for the issue, my office admin enabled mobile access control. problem solved now it’s working fine, please try to ask your admin”

Could you expand upon that. Do you mean the Mobile device was NOT showing in windows explorer? Or it was displaying in Windows explorer, but not in Katalon Studio. That is the issue I am having. Could you let me know what you mean by “Enabled mobile access control” what did Admin do exactly? Thanks in advance.

For best results I have achieved the following combination of versions (on Windows 10x64):

  • Katalon 6.3.3
  • Appium Desktop 1.8.1 (there are problems with newer versions, be sure not to install the latest version!) Then you need to add the correct path to Appium to the Katalon: Preferences / Katalon / Mobile settings:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Appium\resources\app\node_modules\appium\

  • Nodejs 10.16.2 (I would not be afraid of newer versions) and Nodejs 10.16.2 (I wouldn’t be afraid of newer versions) + add to the system variable in the “Path” section:

C:\Program Files\nodejs\

  • Add to the user variable in the “Path” section (if you want to use adb command execution):

%USERPROFILE%\.katalon\tools\android_sdk\platform-tools\

Ever since I came back from Holidays my automation is flaky and seems to go wrong from time to time. But It was working fine before. The only thing that changes is the chrome was updated on my device and I had to upgrade the chromedriver on my PC running the automation. Is there a problem between the appium 1.8.1 and the latest chromedriver?

nevermind… there was a problem with the firewall at work… :tired_face:

Try using pda.net application on phone and pc for adb not detected issue. It is with most of the Mi devices.
