## The --default-capabilities flag

Appium 1.5 does away with most CLI flags that existed previously; the remainder can be converted into JSON and made part of the `--default-capabilities` flag. For example:

```
# raw JSON as an argument
--default-capabilities '{"app": "myapp.app", "deviceName": "iPhone Simulator"}'
# or the name of a JSON file
--default-capabilities /path/to/file.json
```

**Windows users** will need to escape the quotes in JSON passed on the command line: `--default-capabilities "{\"app\": \"myapp.app\"}"`



| Flag                      | JSON key                |
|---------------------------|-------------------------|
| --keep-artifacts          | keepArtifacts           |
| --platform-name           | platformName            |
| --platform-version        | platformVersion         |
