I feel myself lucky because of finding your channel, when I search on youtube. I m planning to watch all your videos. Thank you for your clear explanation and your effort.
For who is stuck after run with test one, you should update a little bit because we are finding element of selenium webdriver instead android app: AppiumDriver driver; => Update to: WebDriver driver; driver = new AppiumDriver(url, caps); => Update to: driver = new RemoteWebDriver(url, caps);
Thanks Tien... one more way it worked for me was use of direct xpath instead of name locator... "findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='q']"))" it ran successfully..
Thank you! Your tutorials are the best of the best! I had no prior experience and i was able to install and run scrips from scratch in three days following your tutorial , Your install instructions has 100% accuracy. Here now trying some scripts.
Below is the solution worked for me for exception/error "No Chromedriver found" Start appium server through command line using below command: appium --allow-insecure chromedriver_autodownload The above command will install the latest driver as per the chrome browser version on running the above test as expected.
Amazing explanation, made the concept so easy and clear - framework from scratch. Thanks a lot for making this video. Keep making the videos and help passionate learners to reach their goals. Waiting for the Android and IOS framework videos.
Your explanation looks like god-level bro. Seriously !. Before your tutorial I don't know how to use appium. Now I hope I'll get a good job in QA. Thanks for your precious video bro. Thank you.
Hi I need a little clarifucation from you, when you are ceating a web automation framework using selenium java using maven using page object model, we have a page layer and a test layer. In page layer we do have page classes in pages package and a BaseTest in a base package. Why didn't you use the same approach in designing this mobile automation framework? Can't we create a Base class here and inside that can't we create those desired capabilities and launching the driver method? Then its about calling them in the test classes noh ? Because in page object model you can't use driver apis in test layer, if you do that it happens to be a violation of page object model as per the Martin the inventor of POM. So I am asking again why can't we use the same approach in mobile devices? Is that because they don't have specific pages hence we cant create separate page classes? If that so is what should be the way to create a framework then ?
Isuru Yes, you can use the same approach in designing a mobile automation framework using Appium. The Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern that can be used to decouple the test code from the implementation details of the application under test. It does this by creating separate classes for each page in the application. These classes contain methods for interacting with the elements on the page. The Base class in the POM pattern is a generic class that contains common methods for all pages, such as the method for launching the driver. This class can be used in both web and mobile automation frameworks. In the case of mobile automation, the Base class can also contain methods for configuring the device, such as setting the device name and the device orientation. The test classes in the POM pattern should only call the methods in the Page classes. This ensures that the test code is decoupled from the implementation details of the application under test. Here is an example of how the POM pattern can be used in a mobile automation framework: ``` public class BaseTest { protected AppiumDriver driver; public BaseTest() { this.driver = new AppiumDriver(); } public void launchApp() { driver.launchApp(); } public void closeApp() { driver.closeApp(); } } public class HomePage extends Page { public void clickLoginButton() { driver.findElementById("loginButton").click(); } } public class LoginPage extends Page { public void enterUsername(String username) { driver.findElementById("username").sendKeys(username); } public void enterPassword(String password) { driver.findElementById("password").sendKeys(password); } public void clickLoginButton() { driver.findElementById("loginButton").click(); } } public class Test1 { @Test public void testLogin() { BaseTest baseTest = new BaseTest(); baseTest.launchApp(); HomePage homePage = new HomePage(baseTest.driver); homePage.clickLoginButton(); LoginPage loginPage = new LoginPage(baseTest.driver); loginPage.enterUsername("username"); loginPage.enterPassword("password"); loginPage.clickLoginButton(); } } ``` In this example, the BaseTest class contains the methods for launching the driver and closing the app. The HomePage class and the LoginPage class contain methods for interacting with the elements on the HomePage and the LoginPage, respectively. The Test1 class tests the login functionality of the application. This is just one example of how the POM pattern can be used in a mobile automation framework. There are many other ways to implement the POM pattern. The best way to implement the POM pattern will depend on the specific application under test.
@@RaghavPal Thank you very much for your detailed explanation, I think your page classes should extend base class right, hope that it's by a typo that you have written it as public class HomePage extends Page It should be public class HomePage extends BaseTest Am I correct ?
Hi Raghav, I have been searching alot for some good tutorials on Automation using Appium and Maven and I finally came across your videos - Very well laid out and explained. Thank you so much for helping us get a good grasp of the concepts. I have a few doubts: 1. I used pom to define my dependencies- appium java client, selenium and tetng jars and built the maven application. Now when trying to go to AppiumDriver or AndroidDriver class, I get an error mentioning that the JAR file has no source attachment I couldnt find the path too to mention. How do I go about resolving that as I am interested in exploring the classes in some jar files. 2. When setting the below capability (basically instantiating the ChromeDriver), I am getting the below errror- No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome '58.0.3029'
Glad to know it helped Divya. 1. You can provide the location of your jar. Check here - stackoverflow.com/questions/15180411/attach-the-source-in-eclipse-of-a-jar 2. You will need to get chromedrive exe ver as per the ver of chrome browser on your system
It is at 43:10 that you realize that you as a viewer didn't notice the issue. A simple demonstration of "no amount of coding knowledge can match the power of the mighty round brackets!!" #JustKidding

Hi Raghav Sir.. I need your help to understand where should I use interface and Abstract class while working on automation framework..?? Actually even when I know the definitions of Abstract class and interface while working alone on my automation framework I am not getting how can I bring Abstract class and interface in framework.. I follow Page object model.. pls help
Hi Raghav, I wanted to ask you something: In order to perform automation with appium and Java & Selenium for Apple devices you will need an Mac machine? Is it possible to perform this under Windows machine? Thanks for your great work.
Hi Gabriel, In order to perform automation testing with Appium and Java & Selenium for Apple devices, you need a Mac machine. This is because Appium relies on Apple's XCUITest automation framework, which is only available on macOS. Therefore, if you want to automate testing on Apple devices, you will need a Mac machine to run Appium. While it is possible to write the code for Appium using Java & Selenium on a Windows machine, you will not be able to execute the tests on an Apple device without a Mac machine. However, there are a few workarounds that allow you to perform testing on a real iOS device without a Mac machine. These include: Using a cloud-based testing service that provides access to real iOS devices for testing. Examples of such services include Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, and Firebase Test Lab. Using a third-party tool such as CrossBrowserTesting's Appium Studio, which provides an emulation of XCUITest on a Windows machine. Using a virtual machine running macOS on your Windows machine. This requires you to have a licensed copy of macOS and access to a virtual machine software such as VMware or VirtualBox. However, these workarounds may have limitations in terms of performance, reliability, and device compatibility, so it is recommended to use a physical Mac machine for Appium testing on Apple devices.
hi Raghav, I am not able to use AppiumDriver driver; It is giving me fixes. I am using java-client (9.3.0) , selenium-java(4.23.1) , testng(7.10.2). Could you please help me with the troubleshoot?
Pooja Let's break down the issue step by step and try to troubleshoot the problem. Step 1: Verify the imports Make sure you have the correct imports in your Java file. You should have the following imports: ```java import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver; import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement; ``` If you don't have these imports, add them and see if the issue persists. Step 2: Check the Appium Java Client version You mentioned you're using Appium Java Client version 9.3.0. This version is compatible with Selenium 4.x. However, there might be some issues with the latest versions of Selenium. Try downgrading Selenium to a version that is known to work with Appium Java Client 9.3.0, such as Selenium 4.0.0. Step 3: Check the Selenium version As you're using Selenium 4.23.1, which is a relatively new version. Try downgrading to a version that is known to work with Appium Java Client 9.3.0, such as Selenium 4.0.0. Step 4: Verify the Maven dependencies (if using Maven) If you're using Maven, verify that your `pom.xml` file has the correct dependencies: ```xml io.appium java-client 9.3.0
org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 4.0.0
org.testng testng 7.10.2 ``` Step 5: Check for conflicts with other dependencies If you have other dependencies in your project, they might be causing conflicts with Appium Java Client or Selenium. Try removing other dependencies one by one to see if the issue persists. Step 6: Clean and rebuild the project Sometimes, cleaning and rebuilding the project can resolve issues. Try cleaning and rebuilding your project to see if the issue is resolved. Step 7: Check the Eclipse/IDE settings (if using Eclipse/IDE) If you're using Eclipse or another IDE, check the project settings to ensure that the Java Client and Selenium libraries are properly configured.

Hi Raghav, first of all Thank u so much for the wonderful lectures, Please help me as while executing I am getting ""TestNG by default disables loading DTD from unsecured URLs. If you need to explicitly load the DTD from a http url, please do so by using the JVM argument [-Dtestng.dtd.http=true]" error.. please help
Hi Raghav, Even after creating the sample test I am not getting the "Run as TestNG" option. It is still showing as 'Run Configuration'... what can be the cause? I followed exactly the same code.
Hi Raghav, Thank for such a nice explanation. One query - What is the use of src/main/java and src/main/resources. Please help as I need to create a framework in my project for POC purpose. Thanks in Adance.
Hi Kapil, these are diff folders or packages. You can put your main dev code in src/main/java, your test-related scripts under src/test/java and other resources like config files, drivers, property files etc in resources
Thank you so much I have learned so much from this alone, this best explanation so far. One request for you If you could share this project with us. That would be a great help.
Hi, thanks for making the videos..really helped me alot in my testing journey. Is adding the appium.io dependency the same as appium studio? I need to use some functionality to simulate the camera, i don't think appium does this since im doing this for mobile app automation, I do not need the selenium dependency?
I have some doubts as mentioned below. 1. I have added dependency which you are added in this video, but I'm unable find MobileCapabilityType java file. 2. I couldnot able to declare thar appium driver variable. Unable to proceed after this
Hi Raghav, I follow this tutorial but get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" when running the TestNG . I am using javac 20.0.1 and java 20.0.1, selenium 3.141.59, java-client 7.0.0, and testng 7.8.0. I am trying to find the solution for this since yesterday but still cant solve this issue. The terminal log said nothing bout this error.
Nadia The error message "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" means that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is unable to load the class because it is not compatible with the version of the JVM that is running. This error can occur for a few reasons: * The class file was compiled with a newer version of Java than the JVM is running. * The class file is corrupt. * The JVM is not configured to run Java 18. To troubleshoot this error, you can try the following: * Check the Java version that the class file was compiled with. You can do this by looking at the file header of the class file. * Check the Java version that the JVM is running. You can do this by running the following command: ``` java -version ``` If the Java version that the class file was compiled with is newer than the Java version that the JVM is running, then you need to compile the class file with the older version of Java. If the class file is corrupt, then you need to delete the class file and recompile it. If the JVM is not configured to run Java 18, then you need to update the JVM configuration. I hope this helps!
Thank you for the tutorial Raghav. May I know if you have the same tutorial for Native app. I mean setting up the TestNG framework with android or ios native apps.
I will try to add a video, meanwhile you can check this video that will help you czcams.com/video/CV3SOorFydE/video.html czcams.com/video/02ANy2pu_ZA/video.html

Suresh In web automation, XML configuration files are often used to manage settings and parameters for test frameworks like Selenium. However, in mobile automation with Appium, the approach can be different. Appium typically uses desired capabilities, which are a set of key-value pairs that define the context of the test run. These capabilities can be written in JSON format and included directly in your test code or in a separate JSON file. Here's an example of how desired capabilities might look in a JSON file for an Appium test: ```json { "platformName": "Android", "platformVersion": "11.0", "deviceName": "Android Emulator", "app": "/path/to/your/app.apk", "automationName": "UiAutomator2" } ``` You would then load these capabilities in your test setup. For instance, in Java, you might use the `DesiredCapabilities` class to load them: ```java DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android"); capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "11.0"); capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator"); capabilities.setCapability("app", "/path/to/your/app.apk"); capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "UiAutomator2"); AppiumDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities); ``` This approach is different from traditional web automation, where XML configuration files might be used more extensively. In Appium, JSON is preferred for defining capabilities because it is more concise and integrates well with the programming languages commonly used for writing tests (like Java, Python, etc.).
Hey Raghav.. Very nice sessions.. they help a lot in our work .. thank you so much. I have a question.. can we automate the apps in the mobile which are inside citrix workspace?
Hi Ateeqh, the apps folder is to add your apk or ipa files for mobile applications and pages will contain class with element locators to create Page Object Model.

getting an error, Google isn't helping. java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Preview features are not enabled for tests/BaseClass (class file version 58.65535). Try running with '--enable-preview' Any ideas?
Hi Mizoto, what is your java version. I was checking this online and may be this is with java 9 You may try to use a diff ver and check, In case you want to know how to install or update java, can find in my playlist on java under programming section here - automationstepbystep.com/
Hi, I've been following along in Java and the tests seem to run and pass, however, when running two tests, it doesn't even wait for the browser to load the results of the first search before moving on to the second test. I have "cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 60);" in my code, but is there a different or specific way of waiting between tests? Not sure what else I can try and new to coding so unsure where I would put any wait commands. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, ideally, implicit wait at global level and page load timeouts should be sufficient, In case there is a particular step that needs some wait with condition, you can try explicit or fluent waits
Hi Raghab, this is one of the best example. I tried to follow every single steps but when I run 'tests.java', it is keep failing and here is the error message I am getting >> java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver.get(String)" because "this.driver" is null at tests.tests.testone(tests.java:11) for 'testone'. Since this is the first time I am trying to learn, cannot figure out where the issue is. Appreciate for this detail video.
Venkat MobileCapabilityType is a part of the Appium Java client, so let's go through some possible reasons why it's not being resolved: Missing dependency: Make sure you have the Appium Java client dependency in your project's pom.xml file (if you're using Maven) or your build.gradle file (if you're using Gradle). For Maven: io.appium java-client 7.3.0 For Gradle: dependencies { implementation 'io.appium:java-client:7.3.0' } Incorrect import: Double-check that you have imported the correct package in your Java file: import io.appium.java_client.MobileCapabilityType; Typo or capitalization issue: Verify that you haven't made a typo or capitalization mistake when using MobileCapabilityType. Java is case-sensitive, so make sure it's exactly as written above. Outdated Appium version: If you're using an older version of Appium, MobileCapabilityType might not be available. Try updating to the latest version of the Appium Java client. Project setup issues: Sometimes, project setup issues can cause problems with resolving dependencies. Try cleaning and rebuilding your project, or even creating a new project from scratch to rule out any project-specific issues. IDE issues: If you're using an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ, try restarting the IDE or invalidating the cache and restarting. This can sometimes resolve issues with dependency resolution. -

Hi
I need a little clarifucation from you, when you are ceating a web automation framework using selenium java using maven using page object model, we have a page layer and a test layer. In page layer we do have page classes in pages package and a BaseTest in a base package.
Why didn't you use the same approach in designing this mobile automation framework?
Can't we create a Base class here and inside that can't we create those desired capabilities and launching the driver method?
Then its about calling them in the test classes noh ?
Because in page object model you can't use driver apis in test layer, if you do that it happens to be a violation of page object model as per the Martin the inventor of POM.
So I am asking again why can't we use the same approach in mobile devices?
Is that because they don't have specific pages hence we cant create separate page classes?
If that so is what should be the way to create a framework then ?
Isuru
Yes, you can use the same approach in designing a mobile automation framework using Appium. The Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern that can be used to decouple the test code from the implementation details of the application under test. It does this by creating separate classes for each page in the application. These classes contain methods for interacting with the elements on the page.
The Base class in the POM pattern is a generic class that contains common methods for all pages, such as the method for launching the driver. This class can be used in both web and mobile automation frameworks.
In the case of mobile automation, the Base class can also contain methods for configuring the device, such as setting the device name and the device orientation.
The test classes in the POM pattern should only call the methods in the Page classes. This ensures that the test code is decoupled from the implementation details of the application under test.
Here is an example of how the POM pattern can be used in a mobile automation framework:
```
public class BaseTest {
protected AppiumDriver driver;
public BaseTest() {
this.driver = new AppiumDriver();
}
public void launchApp() {
driver.launchApp();
}
public void closeApp() {
driver.closeApp();
}
}
public class HomePage extends Page {
public void clickLoginButton() {
driver.findElementById("loginButton").click();
}
}
public class LoginPage extends Page {
public void enterUsername(String username) {
driver.findElementById("username").sendKeys(username);
}
public void enterPassword(String password) {
driver.findElementById("password").sendKeys(password);
}
public void clickLoginButton() {
driver.findElementById("loginButton").click();
}
}
public class Test1 {
@Test
public void testLogin() {
BaseTest baseTest = new BaseTest();
baseTest.launchApp();
HomePage homePage = new HomePage(baseTest.driver);
homePage.clickLoginButton();
LoginPage loginPage = new LoginPage(baseTest.driver);
loginPage.enterUsername("username");
loginPage.enterPassword("password");
loginPage.clickLoginButton();
}
}
```
In this example, the BaseTest class contains the methods for launching the driver and closing the app. The HomePage class and the LoginPage class contain methods for interacting with the elements on the HomePage and the LoginPage, respectively. The Test1 class tests the login functionality of the application.
This is just one example of how the POM pattern can be used in a mobile automation framework. There are many other ways to implement the POM pattern. The best way to implement the POM pattern will depend on the specific application under test.
@@RaghavPal Thank you very much for your detailed explanation, I think your page classes should extend base class right, hope that it's by a typo that you have written it as
public class HomePage extends Page
It should be
public class HomePage extends BaseTest
Am I correct ?

Hi Raghav, I have been searching alot for some good tutorials on Automation using Appium and Maven and I finally came across your videos - Very well laid out and explained. Thank you so much for helping us get a good grasp of the concepts.
I have a few doubts:
1. I used pom to define my dependencies- appium java client, selenium and tetng jars and built the maven application. Now when trying to go to AppiumDriver or AndroidDriver class, I get an error mentioning that the JAR file has no source attachment I couldnt find the path too to mention. How do I go about resolving that as I am interested in exploring the classes in some jar files.
2. When setting the below capability (basically instantiating the ChromeDriver), I am getting the below errror-
No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome '58.0.3029'
Glad to know it helped Divya.
1. You can provide the location of your jar. Check here - stackoverflow.com/questions/15180411/attach-the-source-in-eclipse-of-a-jar
2. You will need to get chromedrive exe ver as per the ver of chrome browser on your system

Hello, why wouldn't you create a testNG class directly. Instead of importing it?. Sry for the dumb question. Thanks
Hi, after you add TestNG dependency, to use its classes and functions, you will have to import it in your class
Hi Raghav, I wanted to ask you something: In order to perform automation with appium and Java & Selenium for Apple devices you will need an Mac machine? Is it possible to perform this under Windows machine? Thanks for your great work.
Hi Gabriel,
In order to perform automation testing with Appium and Java & Selenium for Apple devices, you need a Mac machine. This is because Appium relies on Apple's XCUITest automation framework, which is only available on macOS. Therefore, if you want to automate testing on Apple devices, you will need a Mac machine to run Appium.
While it is possible to write the code for Appium using Java & Selenium on a Windows machine, you will not be able to execute the tests on an Apple device without a Mac machine. However, there are a few workarounds that allow you to perform testing on a real iOS device without a Mac machine. These include:
Using a cloud-based testing service that provides access to real iOS devices for testing. Examples of such services include Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, and Firebase Test Lab.
Using a third-party tool such as CrossBrowserTesting's Appium Studio, which provides an emulation of XCUITest on a Windows machine.
Using a virtual machine running macOS on your Windows machine. This requires you to have a licensed copy of macOS and access to a virtual machine software such as VMware or VirtualBox.
However, these workarounds may have limitations in terms of performance, reliability, and device compatibility, so it is recommended to use a physical Mac machine for Appium testing on Apple devices.
@@RaghavPal Thank you Raghav, I really appreciate your long explaining and devotion to teach!

hi Raghav, I am not able to use AppiumDriver driver; It is giving me fixes. I am using java-client (9.3.0) , selenium-java(4.23.1) , testng(7.10.2). Could you please help me with the troubleshoot?
Pooja
Let's break down the issue step by step and try to troubleshoot the problem.
Step 1: Verify the imports
Make sure you have the correct imports in your Java file. You should have the following imports:
```java
import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
```
If you don't have these imports, add them and see if the issue persists.
Step 2: Check the Appium Java Client version
You mentioned you're using Appium Java Client version 9.3.0. This version is compatible with Selenium 4.x. However, there might be some issues with the latest versions of Selenium. Try downgrading Selenium to a version that is known to work with Appium Java Client 9.3.0, such as Selenium 4.0.0.
Step 3: Check the Selenium version
As you're using Selenium 4.23.1, which is a relatively new version. Try downgrading to a version that is known to work with Appium Java Client 9.3.0, such as Selenium 4.0.0.
Step 4: Verify the Maven dependencies (if using Maven)
If you're using Maven, verify that your `pom.xml` file has the correct dependencies:
```xml
io.appium
java-client
9.3.0
org.seleniumhq.selenium
selenium-java
4.0.0
org.testng
testng
7.10.2
```
Step 5: Check for conflicts with other dependencies
If you have other dependencies in your project, they might be causing conflicts with Appium Java Client or Selenium. Try removing other dependencies one by one to see if the issue persists.
Step 6: Clean and rebuild the project
Sometimes, cleaning and rebuilding the project can resolve issues. Try cleaning and rebuilding your project to see if the issue is resolved.
Step 7: Check the Eclipse/IDE settings (if using Eclipse/IDE)
If you're using Eclipse or another IDE, check the project settings to ensure that the Java Client and Selenium libraries are properly configured.

Hi Pradeep, will need to check the logs and error details, Can try some online examples
Hi Raghav, I follow this tutorial but get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" when running the TestNG . I am using javac 20.0.1 and java 20.0.1, selenium 3.141.59, java-client 7.0.0, and testng 7.8.0. I am trying to find the solution for this since yesterday but still cant solve this issue. The terminal log said nothing bout this error.
Nadia
The error message "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" means that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is unable to load the class because it is not compatible with the version of the JVM that is running.
This error can occur for a few reasons:
* The class file was compiled with a newer version of Java than the JVM is running.
* The class file is corrupt.
* The JVM is not configured to run Java 18.
To troubleshoot this error, you can try the following:
* Check the Java version that the class file was compiled with. You can do this by looking at the file header of the class file.
* Check the Java version that the JVM is running. You can do this by running the following command:
```
java -version
```
If the Java version that the class file was compiled with is newer than the Java version that the JVM is running, then you need to compile the class file with the older version of Java.
If the class file is corrupt, then you need to delete the class file and recompile it.
If the JVM is not configured to run Java 18, then you need to update the JVM configuration.
I hope this helps!

In web automation we used to write .xml config file right. Here mobile automation not required that approach?
Suresh
In web automation, XML configuration files are often used to manage settings and parameters for test frameworks like Selenium. However, in mobile automation with Appium, the approach can be different. Appium typically uses desired capabilities, which are a set of key-value pairs that define the context of the test run. These capabilities can be written in JSON format and included directly in your test code or in a separate JSON file.
Here's an example of how desired capabilities might look in a JSON file for an Appium test:
```json
{
"platformName": "Android",
"platformVersion": "11.0",
"deviceName": "Android Emulator",
"app": "/path/to/your/app.apk",
"automationName": "UiAutomator2"
}
```
You would then load these capabilities in your test setup. For instance, in Java, you might use the `DesiredCapabilities` class to load them:
```java
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "11.0");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator");
capabilities.setCapability("app", "/path/to/your/app.apk");
capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "UiAutomator2");
AppiumDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
```
This approach is different from traditional web automation, where XML configuration files might be used more extensively. In Appium, JSON is preferred for defining capabilities because it is more concise and integrates well with the programming languages commonly used for writing tests (like Java, Python, etc.).

I have followed every step but MobileCapabilityType is not resolved. Stuck here. Any help please?
Venkat
MobileCapabilityType is a part of the Appium Java client, so let's go through some possible reasons why it's not being resolved:
Missing dependency: Make sure you have the Appium Java client dependency in your project's pom.xml file (if you're using Maven) or your build.gradle file (if you're using Gradle).
For Maven:
io.appium
java-client
7.3.0
For Gradle:
dependencies {
implementation 'io.appium:java-client:7.3.0'
}
Incorrect import: Double-check that you have imported the correct package in your Java file:
import io.appium.java_client.MobileCapabilityType;
Typo or capitalization issue: Verify that you haven't made a typo or capitalization mistake when using MobileCapabilityType. Java is case-sensitive, so make sure it's exactly as written above.
Outdated Appium version: If you're using an older version of Appium, MobileCapabilityType might not be available. Try updating to the latest version of the Appium Java client.
Project setup issues: Sometimes, project setup issues can cause problems with resolving dependencies. Try cleaning and rebuilding your project, or even creating a new project from scratch to rule out any project-specific issues.
IDE issues: If you're using an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ, try restarting the IDE or invalidating the cache and restarting. This can sometimes resolve issues with dependency resolution.

I fixed by adding this deviceCap in the Setup() => caps.setCapability("chromedriverExecutable", "C:\\ChromeDrivers\\81.0.4044.138\\chromedriver.exe");
What I'm looking for is way to skip this step. There's such thing ?
Thx
Hi Haider, If you add the path of the chromederver.exe in Path env variable, you may try to skip this

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand. In maven dependencies, you only listed appium java CLIENT. This will download the libraries to the .m2 folder. Where did the installed appium server come from in the system?
That was done separately using npm install appium, pls check the earlier videos of this playlist, Can refer from here - automationstepbystep.com/

Remember to set the TestNG dependency in the pom file to a version equal or lower than the TestNG Eclipse plugin to avoid a failure when you run the test.

Hi, i have a problem, Error: Could not find or load main class org.testng.remote.RemoteTestNG ?
I Add TestNG Plugin In Eclipse. I add selenium version 3.141.59, appium version 7.3.0, testng version 6.14.3 in pom.xml . please help me !
Hi Thắng, did you add testng in pom dependency.
Pls check this - stackoverflow.com/questions/32943504/error-could-not-find-or-load-main-class-org-testng-remote-remotetestng

Hi Raghav,
I am getting following error can you help on this.
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create a new remote session. Please check the server log for more details. Original error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Could not find 'aapt' in PATH. Please set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable with the Android SDK root directory path.
Hi, aapt.exe is the Android Asset Packaging Tool and is part of the Android SDK. Can you confirm that you have aapt.exe somewhere on your machine? There are specific directories that the script is looking in to find it. You might want to try reinstalling the Android SDK.
I was reading some posts that aapt.exe may be named aapt2.exe for some SDKs. Could you check to see if that file exists on your system? You should be able to find it in:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\
If it does exist, you might be able to create a shortcut named “aapt.exe” to that file.
forum.katalon.com/t/could-not-find-aapt-exe/10922/10
A user solved it using below steps:
1 I installed Android Studio and
2 installed SDK from Android Studio.
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/darya1/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
3 Edit the configuration setting of Appium server to point to the ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME.
This video is super useful Raghav.
