[poorvikamahesh]

Hello,

I just upgraded the java-client to 5.0.0-BETA5. Now I am unable to launch the app and get the below error -

[Appium] Welcome to Appium v1.6.4-beta
[Appium] Appium REST http interface listener started on 0.0.0.0:4723
[HTTP] --> POST /wd/hub/session {"desiredCapabilities":{"app":"/Users/Desktop/xxx.ipa","newCommandTimeout":300,"platformVersion":"10.2.1","xcodeOrgId":"QWERTY","automationName":"XCUITest","bundleId":"com.xxx.xxx","platformName":"iOS","udid":"XXXXXXXXXXX","deviceName":"iPad","fullReset":true,"xcodeSigningId":"XXXX"},"requiredCapabilities":{},"capabilities":{"desiredCapabilities":{"app":"/Users/Desktop/xxx.ipa","newCommandTimeout":300,"platformVersion":"10.2.1","xcodeOrgId":"QWERTY","automationName":"XCUITest","bundleId":"com.xxx.xxx","platformName":"iOS","udid":"XXXXXXXXXXX","deviceName":"iPad","fullReset":true,"xcodeSigningId":"XXXX"},"requiredCapabilities":{}},"alwaysMatch":{"app":"/Users/poorvikamahesh/Desktop/Vinodh/DreamMapper_automation_March_3rd.ipa","newCommandTimeout":300,"

[HTTP] <-- POST /wd/hub/session 400 9 ms - 243 

My desired capabilities is as below

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

			capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "XCUITest");
			capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 300 );
			capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "abc");
			capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "iOS");
			capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "10.2.1");
			capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, "/path/to/app");
			capabilities.setCapability("bundleId", "com.xxx.xxx");
			capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, "xxxxxxxx");
			capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET, true);
			capabilities.setCapability("xcodeOrgId", "xxxxx");
			capabilities.setCapability("xcodeSigningId", "xxxxx");
sAppiumDriver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Kindly help.

Thanks and Regards,

There's a known issue with BETA5 that is being worked on that will cause this. For now, you'll likely want to go back to BETA4. See...
