  • **Selenium
    **You can now view **reportTestId** from the list of capabilities using driver.getCapabilities().getCapability(``"reportTestId"``);

**Bug Fixes and Improvements​

**

  • **Appium Server: Alignment of web dump in iOS
    **The misalignment of web dump in hybrid iOS applications has been fixed and now the elements appear at proper coordinates.

  • **Appium: Enhanced Error Messages
    **You will now receive more detailed error messages when your device query does not match any available device.

  • **Appium: applicationClearData with autoGrantPermissions
    **You can now use the autoGrantPermissions and applicationClearData desired capabilities during the same test execution. Your application data will be cleared, but the permissions will remain enabled.

  • **Appium Server: JSON Exception
    **We fixed a bug that caused intermittent test failures due to JSON runtime exceptions.

  • **Appium: Chromedriver Auto Download
    **Appium Server will now download the required chromedriver automatically during Android web tests. For environments without internet access, please refer to the Cloud Management documentation.

  • Appium Grid - Improvement on driver.get method
    On websites that opens with a pop-up, using ios.safari.launch.timeout=0 will make the driver.get command move to the next step immediately without waiting for the page to load.

  • **Cleanup improvements on IOS devices
    **The issue with web cleanup failing on iPAD devices has been fixed now.

  • Android Emulator
    The issue with emulators going to unauthorized state has been fixed and the launch process has been improved

  • iOS - identification of Swift UI elements
    Element identification and positioning has been improved on apps built with Swift UI.

  • Android - New device support

    The tests were getting skipped status as the xcui reports did not include finishing part. Now that has been fixed so all the test run with xcode14 will now be in finished status (either passed or failed)

  • SeeTest Automation- iOS Alerts handling
    The alert management rules created on cloud will now apply for devices from STA as Automation session instead of seeing it as IDLE mode.

  • iOS Apps - Plugin signing
    Added a new way to sign the app and plugin with custom profiles for apps that are built with plugin and uploaded to cloud.

    We fixed a bug that caused device logs to grow indefinitely until the DHM ran out of storage.

    We fixed a bug that prevented users from being able to open a new window via automation
