Appium 1.4.13 Released

News

@scottdixon,

Any news on an updated GUI version?

Thanks.

9

We’ve alerted both projects for the Windows and Mac apps. Keep an eye on the linked issues for a .app/.exe release.

10

Perhaps you could email your contact person on the teams and ask them if they have an estimated date?

11

Does Appium 1.4.13 work with the latest 9.0.2 IOS update for the iphones?
I upgraded my mac to the El Capitan new IOS, will that affect the running of appium and its results?
I am able to use Appium 1.4.11 with the original 9.0 iOS with a real iPhone device.
I worry if I upgrade to 1.4.13 and/or upgrade my iPhone to 9.0.2 IOS then my scripts may not run correctly anymore. So I haven’t upgraded my appium or iPhone IOS yet.

12

I downloaded the source from the git now how do I launch the 1.4.13 UI from the code? I am used to app UI DMG but website is still showing 1.4.8 for download.

Could you confirm the ./reset.sh was success and post the log details?

Based on your above screenshot, you should run the ./reset.sh on /Users/abc.xyz/Documents/Appium/appium (Basically the git appium local directory), not on your user root directory.

hi @Sruthi

Did the same thing

21

Hi Vpathania,
I followed Sruthi instructions with two additional steps and I got it to work.
I added the code-signing identity and it worked for me.
I was able to install appium 1.4.13 without error. See if it will work for you too.

  1. Type in terminal git clone https://github.com/appium/appium.git

  2. Type in terminal to find code-signing identity:
    security find-identity -v -p codesigning

  3. Type in terminal $ ./reset.sh --ios --real-safari --code-sign ‘code signing identity’ --profile ‘retrieved profile identity code’

Check out instructions here

++ Thanks seleniumappiumnewbie, For me also it is working in My Machine too (Appium 1.4.13)… :smile:
but iOS 9.0 version is not displayed in Appium GUI, because of older version of XCODE(6.2) i have. so trying to update my MAC OS X which is compatible with XCODE 7 version.

Please help me out here … :smile:

I manually typed in 9.0 in the platform version. Click between screens to make sure it remembers 9.0 version you entered. Then relaunch appium. See if it works for you.
