Appium installation folder path in mac

Support

Hi,
Can someone please tell where does new appium inspector save its desired capabilities in mac (folder structure) required this path to move from 1 machine to another machine

It’s an Electron app, so take a look at app.getPath(name).appData here:

Documentation states the default path is: ~/Library/Application Support and that this directory is hidden by default in the MacOS gui.

Easiest way to take a look in there (and back it up) is to open a terminal, and cd ~/Library/Application\ Support. From there you can give command open . <-don’t forget the dot and the gui will show you the folder. I found mine under the folder appium-inspector in the file settings.json.

NOTE: I did not try to import this into a new install. I would guess that if you made sure that Appium Inspector is not running you could replace this file with the one from your old machine.
