Mobile Device Automation with UiPath Studio (20.4 Community Preview Release)

Is there any way to do without Appium server ? Directly on local device

Hi @Christian_Mayer,
I was really excited to use this feature of Uipath and it took me quite sometime to setup mobile device automation process. The easiness of mobile automation is very good and flexible, only challenge comes up with the setting of infrastructure for someone who is not much familiar with Appium and all.
Perhaps, a suggestion from my side is to put a video or documentation process of the same for the developers who want to use this feature.
Another suggestion from mobile device automation package is if the selectors can be made dynamic like we do in our regular automation projects.

Very nice new feature. I am trying to get it work, i have the appium running, my local nox emulator and it seems it be connected in the mobile device manager.

Shortcuts are working (home, back etc), but if i hover over any target it will not interact. ?
I am so close :slight_smile:

i would like to know, is it possible to control selectors in swipe activity dynamically in mobile automation?

Hi Suvratha!
Could you give me a little bit more details?
What are you trying to achieve?
Because of a lot of performance optimization we are doing, possibilities around dynamic selectors are limited right now.
Thanks,
Bye,
Chris
