Mobile: installApp sometime fails

Madhav · December 6, 2022, 7:32am

Hi All,

We are uninstalling and intsalling the app in our batch run but sometime our installation fails with below error.

Can anyone suggest what could be the reason?

Thanks in Advance.

Can you provide more information?
Are you trying to run on real device? What’s the appium client you are using? Did it work before?
What’s the instruction you are following? Can you provide image capture?

It might be a bug, but it’s not going to be checked/fixed as Appium 1 is not supported anymore. Consider switching to Appium 2.

Madhav · December 6, 2022, 5:05pm

will my existing script work or do I need to make any changes if I switch to Appium 2

This depends on your script:

title: Migrating from Appium 1.x to Appium 2.x
---

This document is a guide for those who are using Appium 1.x and wish to migrate to Appium 2.x. It contains a list of breaking changes and how to migrate your environments or test suites to ensure compatibility with Appium 2.0.

## Overview of Appium 2.0

Appium 2.0 is the most major new release of Appium in over 5 years. The changes in Appium 2.0 are _not_ primarily related to changes in automation behaviors for specific platforms. Instead, Appium 2.0 reenvisions Appium as a _platform_ where "drivers" (code projects that introduce support for automation of a given platform) and "plugins" (code projects that allow for overriding, altering, extending, or adding behaviors to Appium) can be easily created and shared.

At the same time, the Appium project is taking the opportunity to remove many old and deprecated bits of functionality.

Together these do introduce a few breaking changes to how Appium is installed, how drivers and various features are managed, and protocol support. These are detailed below.

## Breaking Changes

Have a look at the [Appium 2.0 release notes](https://github.com/appium/appium/releases) for the most comprehensive lists of changes. Here we call out the breaking changes and what you need to do do account for them.
