Hi @sashant.khatri

I have replied to you on another topic. If you are running tests with Runtime Engine, by default Katalon checks the Appium directory at:

  • APPIUM_HOME environment variable
  • Windows: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appium
  • macOS and Linux: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium

Hi @Jass, I am getting below error
Unable to create a new remote session.Original error: Unable to parse remote response: Parameters were incorrect. We wanted {“required”:[“desiredCapabilities”],“optional”:[“requiredCapabilities”,“sessionId”,“id”]} and you sent [“desiredCapabilities”,“capabilities”]

In the DesiredCapabilities, I have given the following parameters.
