Hi @sonytuladhar24, Can you please confirm what version of Appium you’re using? Katalon Studio only supports up to Appium server 1.8.1 (or 1.8.2-beta if you’re testing iOS). Note that if you installed Appium Desktop, you’ll need version 1.6.3 of the Desktop, since the versions are out of sync. – Chris ---
