Appium Tutorial 4: How to setup Appium on Mac for Android | Real Device | Emulator

[@askomdch]

Hi guys, the bash profile changes we did in step 6 will be temporary if you are on Mac OS Catalina [The latest version]. This is because Mac OS Catalina is using "zsh" instead of "bash". So if you exit the terminal and re-open it, the changes will not apply. To resolve this temporarily, you will need to execute the command "source .bash_profile" every time you open the terminal. To apply this change permanently, you can follow one of the below two options: Option 1: If you don't want to change your .bash_profile, all you need to do is to create a .zprofile file in your home directory and then add this command "source .bash_profile" to it. With this, whenever the terminal is launched, the OS will load the .zprofile file (since Apple moved from bash to zsh in Catalina OS) which will in turn source the bash profile file. Option 2: Just create a .zprofile file in your home directory and then copy all the content we added to .bash_profile file to this file. After this, the next time you launch the terminal, the changes will be automatically applied. Let me know if you face any issues even after following these steps

Hello! I have a question about installation of Appium. Unfortunately I can't catch your phrase when you are talking about it. So, if I used: brew install node, I got installed nod and npm. In this case I have to install via NPM or via desktop client? Thank You!

Encountered internal error running command: Error executing adbExec. Original error: 'Command '/Users/blablabla/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb -P 5037 -s emulator-5554 shell pm install /data/local/tmp/appium_cache/6d0e9823805a8ef231cf59ca1d0a611142f7af46.apk' exited with code 1'; Stderr: ''; Code: '1' It ends up in the error above.

[@askomdch]

Please share the desired capabilities. Looks like ADB is not able to install the app, may be due to incorrect appPackage or appActivity or app file path.

[@sangshen8]

Thank you so much for this detailed & crystal-clear tutorial! Everything worked except that I'm not able to launch emulator. I get the AVD Manager popup with this error message: "The emulator process for AVD was killed." When I try to launch via command-line (./emulator -avd ) I get this error: "PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU." I confirmed that all necessary dependencies were selected in SDK Manager. Despite that I'm facing this issue.

[@ayushgarg4327]

where appium command does not shown where appium is installed.. But when I enter appium -v and appium.. It works. Can you please tell me why "where appium" is not working?

[@askomdch]

Hmm ok may be you can try "which appium". Also for "where appium", make sure all alphabets are in small cap.

[@ayushgarg4327]

Thanks a lot. You are seriously Awesome. which appium works 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@PraveenCherukuri]

Hi Om, Thanks for the very detailed explanation of how to setup. When I attempt launching the app, I get the following error. Unable to debug the details. Can you please help me understand this please. Error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: The instrumentation process cannot be initialized. Make sure the application under test does not crash and investigate the logcat output.

[@askomdch]

Check if Play Protect is scanning your app. It's the setting in the Play Store and you might want to turn it off for your app.

[@corejavaforeveryone8858]

Hi OM, The following should be installed or not in order to appium setup in MAC or we can ignore any one of the and why Homebrew Carthage Node & NPM JDK Xcode authorize-ios ios-deploy ideviceinstaller ios_webkit_debug_proxy Appium Appium Doctor Maven Eclipse TestNg

[@askomdch]

All the tools mentioned in the video is all that is required to start with Appium for iOS automation. Do not worry about anything else.

[@corejavaforeveryone8858]

However the interviewer asked about this all and I am not able to answer , they also asked more questions about npm uninstall with all appium session

[@askomdch]

@@corejavaforeveryone8858 Ok, if you have worked with Appium, you should be able to answer most of these questions. I have covered all these topics in my videos, except for authorize-ios, ideviceinstaller and ios_webkit_debug_proxy. I suggest you go through all the videos and learn Appium, so you don't have to look out for these answers. Also, the interviewer seems not up to date. -> authorize-ios is deprecated. For Appium, it is not required to be installed anymore. -> ideviceinstaller is used internally by Appium to install the application on the device. Again, we don't have to install it seperately. -> ios_webkit_debug_proxy is also not used by Appium anymore. Appium uses appium-ios-device. Also I don't think it makes sense to ask about these utilities in the interview. These are not used everyday while doing automation with Appium. Yes it is good to have knowledge about these.

[@kannansubbu9078]

You are simply great!

[@ashishkainth6966]

Hi Om I followed your video and its really helpful to me. I am getting following error when I click on Start Session An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: The JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set for Android Tools to work properly Looking forward to your prompt reply.

[@askomdch]

Please set the path using "Edit Configurations" option that shows up while launching Appium desktop. This is a known issue with iOS.

[@wendanjiang3953]

Thanks a lot! This video really helped me a lot!

[@dhivagarajith2807]

What is emulator and simulator ...? What's the difference .?

[@askomdch]

Emulator is for Android. Using that you create a virtual Android device. Simulator is for iOS. Using that you create a virtual iOS device. These are Android and iOS specific things to create virtuals phones for testing and development purposes

[@Samadhi99-h1j]

Thanks a lot!! This works fine!!
