I am currently trying to automate an ionic app using Appium and Python. I have the Appium Desktop version 1.7.2
installed.
However, if I try opening any ionic app using Appium Desktop, it hangs at the loading screen and the app never shows up for the ui elements to be interacted with.
The app opens perfectly fine in the emulator though
My capabilities
are
{
"app": "/Users/zac/Downloads/Demo_ionic.apk",
"platformName": "Android",
"platformVersion": "8",
"deviceName": "Pixel 2 XL"
}
I have even tried setting the autoWebview
to true
but it just opens the browser , which I don't want right now.
Any solutions would be highly appreciated. The apk
can be found here : https://apkpure.com/constantine-ionic-demo/com.ionicframework.constantine199683
I have tried with multiple ionic .apk files and none of them seem to work on Appium desktop. I am having no problem getting the native apps to open on it, so I think I am missing something here.
