Thank you very much, I didn't know anything about automation with Appium, only with this video I understood everything and I became good at it. Teaching well is difficult, good job.

Overall the best video I found on youtube, After following many videos I was getting many errors, was stuck, but this one is awesome, Thank you so much !!!

Hi, I find your working of automation testing was the best, but I was able to write the program in eclipse and use vysor and run appuim but after running the eclipse I dont find any changes in the appium server and mobile app.

[@ZonT001]

Hm, in my case to workaround the "session start error" I needed to downgrade the dependencies to: appium 9.1.0, selenium 4.18.1. I used the exact versions from the video.

I have a problem is that when I click View Device on Visor on my laptop, the device screen is stuck at Connecting to Vysor on Android. But I can still click on the screen and interact with my phone. Do you know how to fix this

[@aceautomationacademy6926]

Hello, hope you are doing good: apologies to answer your query after 2 weeks. This issue with Vysor getting stuck at "Connecting to Vysor on Android" while still allowing interaction is a common problem that can be caused by several factors related to USB connection, drivers, or software settings. Here are some steps you can try to fix the problem: Troubleshooting Steps for Vysor Stuck at "Connecting" Check USB Debugging and Connection Mode Ensure that USB Debugging is enabled on your Android device. You can find this option in Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging. Ensure that the USB connection mode is set to File Transfer (MTP) or PTP, rather than just charging. Update Vysor and Drivers Update Vysor: Ensure that you have the latest version of Vysor installed on your laptop. You can update it from the Vysor website or directly through the app. Update ADB Drivers: Outdated or incompatible ADB (Android Debug Bridge) drivers can cause connectivity issues. Update or reinstall your ADB drivers. Windows: You can use the Universal ADB Driver or Google USB Driver. Mac: ADB drivers are usually included with Vysor, but ensure your system is up-to-date. Check USB Cable and Ports Sometimes, the problem is due to a faulty USB cable or port. Try using a different USB cable, preferably the one that came with your phone, and test with different USB ports on your laptop. Avoid using USB hubs or extensions; connect directly to your computer's port. Restart ADB Server Restarting the ADB server can resolve communication issues between your device and Vysor. Open a Command Prompt or Terminal window. Type the following commands: bash Copy code adb kill-server adb start-server Then, reconnect your device and restart Vysor. Check Device Permissions When you connect your device, you should see a pop-up on your phone asking to allow USB debugging. Ensure you tap Allow and check Always allow from this computer if prompted. If the pop-up doesn't appear, try toggling USB Debugging off and back on. Reset Vysor Settings Sometimes resetting Vysor settings can help. Go to Vysor settings and click on Reset App Settings. This will clear any misconfigurations that might be causing the issue. Disable Other Screen Mirroring Software If you have other screen mirroring or device management software running (like Scrcpy, Samsung DeX, or TeamViewer), these might conflict with Vysor. Close them and try reconnecting. Try Wireless Connection (Vysor Pro) If you have Vysor Pro, try connecting your device wirelessly to see if the issue persists: Enable wireless ADB on Vysor and follow the instructions to connect without a cable. Reinstall Vysor If the above steps do not work, consider uninstalling and reinstalling Vysor to ensure a clean setup.

Hi bro could you please make a video on setting up and running both the Appium server and a Python automation script on the same Android device? I Mean... In Same Android testing (Appium server and python script execution) have to run in background In the same Android mobile Automation work also have to run Is it possible...? If it is possible make video on it...

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. it took a whole day to setup and understand all the things lol. but this is the best video I have seen on youtube related to automation. just a little question. i get blackscreen when a page comes where I suppose to enter email. kindly help with this issue as well Thanks a lot

[@aceautomationacademy6926]

Hi waqas: thanks for your kind words. one of the reason could be related to the App permissions in your device. are you able to open it manually first - could you check that.

[@rajaspitale290]

Getting following error: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

[@aceautomationacademy6926]

Hi Rajas, there could be 2 or 3 reasons related to that: 1. the remote server of appium is not running - kindly make sure the appium server is up 2. when you are trying to run the test - real android device is not connected - hopefully the real android device is connected. 3. slowness of the machine that you are running on kindly let me know if that helps

[@NikitaJadhav-q1q]

Im unable to see "-androiduiautomator" locator option in appium inspector. What could be the reason/solution in this case

[@aceautomationacademy6926]

Hello, Sometimes, other capabilities set during the session initiation might conflict and disable certain locator strategies. Solution: Review your desired capabilities and ensure none are conflicting with -android uiautomator.

[@testphone7661]

can you share the code ?

[@nguyentitatira6664]

could you help me about how to handle popup such as after install an application it will show pop-up (like allow, deny) I used UIAutomator2 , it has register watcher , but in Appium it seems not support about it and how to handle this case , because the popup can appear random , if pop up Allow User 1:55:52 appear manual we action back disappears Hope to receive your answer from you soon.

[@aceautomationacademy6926]

Hi : you can use the below method to handle popups public static void handlePopUp(AndroidDriver driver) { WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); try { // Wait for the 'Allow' button to appear and click it WebElement allowButton = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button"))); allowButton.click(); } catch (Exception e) { // If the pop-up does not appear, do nothing System.out.println("No pop-up appeared."); } }

[@pujadubey4532]

I was getting error after doing all the apps for Uber app. Suggestion for the viewers: Try using newer versions of dependencies if you are not able to see logs for appium server on cmd. It would resolve session not creating issue

This framework not supports flutter based apps

[@aceautomationacademy6926]

hi , yes you are partially right. Appium works with Flutter-based apps, but it requires some additional setup. Appium doesn't directly support Flutter out of the box since Flutter uses a different rendering engine, which makes standard Appium element locators less effective. However, you can still test Flutter apps using Appium with the help of a Flutter driver (like the Appium Flutter driver) that bridges the gap between Appium and Flutter elements.

How Can I solve this issue?

[@aceautomationacademy6926]

Hi, there could be multiple reasons for this: Solution: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to run ADB commands on the device. You can try the following: Run your development environment (e.g., IDE or command prompt) as an administrator. Ensure that your device is properly authorized for debugging. or Solution: Make sure USB debugging is enabled. Verify that the device is not in a locked state. Ensure that you accept any prompt for debugging authorization on the device.
