Notes and Known Issues​

  • The issues related to iOS 17.1 RC/Official and iOS 17.1.1 have been fixed. This version of the cloud supports the aforementioned iOS versions. After upgrading to latest version of cloud, all iOS 17 devices display trust pop-ups which need to be accepted manually.

  • Limitations on Android 12 - 14 devices are mentioned here.

  • Having passcodes set on these devices by default is not supported for iOS 15 and above. This includes passcode, TouchID, and FaceID. You can use DevicePasscode in Mobile Studio or automation to temporarily set a passcode. Read the complete iOS limitations here.

  • Due to technical limitations, Appium Client 8 is not supported in Appium Grid. Instead, use Appium Server.
