Hi @kiran.sk.sdet,

Can you try installing Appium 1.8.2-beta? It’s recommended you use this version with Xcode 10.x:

npm install -g appium@1.8.2-beta

Alternatively, you can try Katalon Studio 6.2.rc1, which is a beta version, but it will work with Appium 1.12.1.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Hi this is fixed now, I am using Appium 1.8.2 beta.
What about Appium 1.9 .0 ?

Hi @kiran.sk.sdet,

Glad you got it working! Unfortunately, Appium 1.9.x changed the way some things are handled, so it’s incompatible with Katalon Studio 5.x through 6.1.x. The good news is that when Katalon Studio 6.2 is officially released, you should be able to upgrade to Appium 1.12.1.

Thanks for the update, Appium 1.12.1 Desktop Application ? or 1.9.x libraries ?

Hi @kiran.sk.sdet,

Unfortunately, the version numbering between Appium Desktop and Appium Server (libraries) don’t align. So when I mention 1.12.1, I’m referring to Appium Server/libraries 1.12.1, which is what you would install if you use npm to do the installation.

Hope this helps,

Chris
