HELP HELP

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not
be created. (Original error: Please provide the ‘app’ or ‘browserName’
capability or start appium with the --app or --browser-name argument.
Alternatively, you may provide the ‘bundleId’ and ‘udid’ capabilities
for an app under test on a real device.) (WARNING: The server did not

Try it with below capabilities:

public void setUP() throws MalformedURLException {
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(“browserName”, “iOS”);
capabilities.setCapability(“udid”, “9e8bf6eeb08db0fff2113c39cc828b13e2d57da5”);
capabilities.setCapability(“bundleId”, “com.telstra.labs.treats”);
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “VIV-064”);//deviceName is the device returned by instruments with instruments -s devices
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “iOS”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformVersion”, “8.0”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”, “com.telstra.labs.treats”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, “au.com.vivant.telstratreats.activity.WelcomeActivity”);
driver = new IOSDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

Thanks Mitesh.
Now i got the below error: what is ideviceinstaller?

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: Could not initialize ideviceinstaller; make sure it is installed and works on your system) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 1.34 seconds

I think some thing wrong with the Apppackage name, i justed used the one which i provided for Android. If YES
What should i specify for iOS ? and how will i provide the App Name to launch the App?
How to Identify the AppName which is already present in the device

Regards,
Lokesh

Yes ,you don’t need to define the below capabilities they are applicable for android:

capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”, “com.telstra.labs.treats”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, “au.com.vivant.telstratreats.activity.WelcomeActivity”);

Use below capability to launch the app in iOS:
capabilities.setCapability(“bundleId”, “com.telstra.labs.treats”);
//You can get bundleId from info.plist file

Mitesh,

Still unsucessfully in launching the App. Below error is seen

Try passing app capability:

capabilities.setCapability(“app”,"/Path/xxx.ipa");

8

Try to use these-

            capabilities.setCapability("appium-version", "1.0");
	capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
	capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "8.1");
	capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPad Retina"); << Can use UDID for real device>>>
	capabilities.setCapability("nativeWebTap", true);
	capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "safari");
	capabilities.setCapability("app", ".ipa"); << ipa path>>
driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Note: take out the bundle id from your capabilities, Make sure the .ipa you are using is built for the device and Build the app on device from xcode before you use appium and enable UIautomation is developer settings.
