Dear Support team,
I am for trying to setup Appium for an assignment to automate an iOS app. I am using macOS. I have setup Xcode and able to run the iOS app in a simulator. Below are the system & tools details:
- macOS 13.3.1
- Xcode 14.3
- Xcode >> Project >> deployment target = 16.4
- Xcode >> Target >> Minimum deployment = 16.4
- Appium server installed with -g option on MacOS
-
appium --versionis 2.0.0-beta.71 [email protected]- Programming language - Java
- JDK version 17
- Build tool - Maven
- Test Framework - JUnit 4.13.2
-
- java-client v8.5.0
- Selenium-java v 4.9.1
Here are my project files.
- Sample test file snippet:
package com.example;
import com.example.service.AppiumDriverService;
import io.appium.java_client.ios.IOSDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumDriverLocalService;
import org.junit.*;
public class AppiumDriverServiceTest {
private AppiumDriverService appiumDriverService;
private IOSDriver iosDriver;
private AppiumDriverLocalService appiumDriverLocalService;
@Before
public void setup(){
appiumDriverService = AppiumDriverService.getAppiumDriverServiceInstance();
appiumDriverLocalService = appiumDriverService.startAppiumService();
iosDriver = appiumDriverService.initDriver();
}
@After
public void teardown(){
//Appium Service will continue to run in this case.
appiumDriverService.quitDriver(iosDriver);
appiumDriverService.stopAppiumService(appiumDriverLocalService);
}
@Test
public void test(){
System.out.println("test is good.");
}
}

I have been through a series of issues in the last couple of weeks to make a sample test work so I can learn the basics. But here feel I am stuck. I am new to mobile automation and am unsure how I can fix this one.
I have tried -
- upgrading the server version,
- Make sure the compatibility between Appium Server, java-client & selenium is correct, as explained in some of the other questions that were asked.
- Running the server on different ports, and
- tries various
Capabilities
But I had no luck!
When I run my test, i get the following output:
Connected to the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:54962', transport: 'socket'
Appium Server started: http://127.0.0.1:4723/

When I was debugging the test, I observed that after appiumDriverLocalService.start(); the appium server status appears to be this -
{"status":9,"value":{"error":"unknown command","message":"The requested resource could not be found, or a request was received using an HTTP method that is not supported by the mapped resource","stacktrace":""}}
And the value of -
appiumDriverLocalService.isRunning()
is
true.
