Mobile Device Connection Step by Step Guide

i am using Appium 1.20.2

[phaserescu (Cristian Bidea)]

1.20.x is broken for MobileAutomation activities. Try 1.21 or anything older between 1.15 - 1.19.

A session is either terminated or not started

[rahil_akram]

@phaserescu Hi Cristian,

I was facing the issue for appium 1.20.2 now i downgrade to 1.15.1. but now it is keep connecting. not showing any logs or error. can you please tell me where i can see the actual logs like we can see in appium desktop app.

[phaserescu (Cristian Bidea)]

I’m not sure if in this state the logs are available in MDM (DEBUG LOG section). If you manage your appium server, you should see the logs in the console or you can even start appium using the Appium Desktop App and see the logs there.

[Ravi_Ray_Verma]

I tried to see the logs in desktop app, but problem is it is starting the 1.20.2 server there… and showing same issue.

[phaserescu (Cristian Bidea)]

So how do you start the 1.15 appium then?

[Ravi_Ray_Verma]

Through cmd

[phaserescu (Cristian Bidea)]

so your logs should be on the console, in the cmd window you start appium.

These are the logs in attached fappium-server-logs.txt (29.3 KB) ile.

[W3C] Matched W3C error code ‘session not created’ to SessionNotCreatedError

This is appium version

Here is configuration:

Note: It is working fine with any cloud based emulator saucelabs, Issue with local appium server

[phaserescu (Cristian Bidea)]

I’m not sure, what’s going on. You can also see the device logs issuing adb logcat to see if something helpful is written there. Also downloading the app and manually installing it with adb install .../path_to/app.apk and then starting the app on device to make sure it works on your emulator.

Hello, I am facing an error while starting an application in Uipath mobile Device manager. The error is " A session is either terminated or not started(session not created) ", All components are running and I successfully connected my device to Appium but when I trying to connect using the mobile device manager my Appium automatically disconnect from my device.

updating Appium solved my problem

[Ashwini_Mogal]

getting the error while installing the platform tool command in cmd prompt.
i have used the ApI level 30 because my mobile device is android version 11 so
command - sdkmanager “platform-tools” “platforms;android-30”

[gaffar_shaikh]

i am getting this screen while connecting my physical device with uipath

any help will be deeply appreciated

[phaserescu (Cristian Bidea)]

Look in the Appium logs to see if the session started or not. It might be that the session start returned an error for some reason but MDM didn’t picked up on that.

[gaffar_shaikh]

application is opening in mobile but not in uipath.

i am trying mobile automation for the first time
