Chrome not reachable

Support

Hi.

I am using appium to automate webpages on my mobile using the following code

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities= new DesiredCapabilities();
	capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME,"Browser");
	capabilities.setCapability("platform","Android");
	capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
	capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "0123456789ABCDEF");
	capabilities.setCapability("version","4.4.2");

Even though i am using Android Browser appium still says Chrome not reachable.
Any idea anyone ?

Thanks

I have the same issue. I’m using Appium for Windows version 1.2.4.

These capabilities worked for me

	new DesiredCapabilities();
	DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.android();

	capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,"Android");
	capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME,"Chrome"); 
	capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,"0123456789ABCDEF");
	capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION,"4.4");

Cheers

when I try “Chrome” for “browserName”, the error is from chromedriver: com.android.chrome is not installed on the device emulator.

For the life of me, I couldn’t get chrome installed on the emulator except by installing chrome.apk, and whenever that was run, I got an error to the effect of “there are missing items that will prevent chrome from running.”

I am having this exact problem with Appium V1.4.0. Was this ever corrected?
