Digital.ai Continuous Testing 24.1 Release Notes

Support for Samsung Galaxy S24 Series​

Digital.ai Continuous Testing supports the latest Samsung Galaxy S24 series. Now you can test your Android apps on S24 devices using Manual or Automation (Grid & Appium Server) sessions.

Contact your CSM to add a S24 device to your SaaS testing platform. 

Bug Fixes and Improvements​

  • A test in a Test Manager Suite that is stopped is now labeled as 'skipped', and a related report is now created.

  • The Device Passcode tool and setPasscode now support configuring a 6 digit number passcode instead of the default 123456.

  • Devices no longer go into error when Xcode installs a newer DDI.

  • The offset when fetching web dump on iOS 17.x devices has been fixed.                                                                                                 

  • Android talkback application is now added to the whitelist cleanup snapshot by default so that it doesn't get uninstalled during cleanup.

  • iOS framework signing issues seen in Windows signer machines when the framework name had Chinese characters have been fixed. 

  • A new property named instrumentation.dump.max.depth limits the depth of elements logged in dumps on instrumented applications. This reduces dump failures.

  • You can now set the default browser language when using Selenium in Windows.

  • You can now set the pass/fail status of Step Groups to accurately reflect test outcomes.

  • You can now use ApplicationClearData in Appium Server to clear the entire application data and cache from the device it is installed on during runtime.

  • NightWatchJS starter project is now available in the Community Code Repository

  • After running a performance transaction test, you can now view device hardware information using the REST API.

  • You can now use comparative operators <, <=, >, >=  in Device Query. For example:  dc.setCapability("deviceQuery", "@os='ios' and @version >'17.0'");

  • We have fixed a bug causing invalid session IDs in Selenium.

  • We have fixed a bug causing the Applications menu in the IntelliJ plugin to be empty.

  • We have fixed a bug preventing you from viewing video repor attachments.

  • Notifications about license expirations are now visible to Cloud Administrators only.

  • The number of items selected in multiple selection tables is now displayed.

  • You can now upload the same p12 and mobile provisioning twice.

  • We have fixed a bug causing server crashes during browser usage report export with extended time intervals. Avoid exporting reports over extended periods to prevent potential issues.

  • Bluetooth connectivity to Huawei devices is now more reliable.

  • Screenshots from secured activities are now supported in Android 14.

Notes and Known Issues​

  • 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.
