Appcenter: Appium 1.11.0 is not supporting android 10 (Q)

[Zhappa]

Describe the solution you'd like
Update to appium 1.13.0 at least

Describe alternatives you've considered
Provide a solution to be able to run tests using Appium v1.11.0 and Android 10 devices.

Additional context
I believe appium v 1.11.0 can't run any test using devices with Android version 10 (Q)

My tests are working using Appium 1.11.0 and Android <10 for both local and appium center environments.
But they did not work (exact same tests) using Appium 1.11.0 and Android 10 for both local and appium center environments.
And they DID work locally if we are using Appium 1.13.0 for all of the Android versions

Can someone confirm this?

You can use this sample project: https://github.com/King-of-Spades/AppCenter-Samples/tree/master/Appium/Android

Environment:

• appium v1.11.0 (to install from npm: npm -g install [email protected])
• emulator with android 10

@Zhappa thank you for this feedback, I've passed this on to the Test PM for his review.

@Zhappa Internally we're running test on Android 10, have you experienced any problems?

Yeap, my tests did not work with android Q emulator using appium v1.11.0, but exact same tests are working with exact same android Q emulator using appium v1.13.0.

So, i believe the problem is in appium version. And i asking you to confirm this.
The reason im asking you to do so - Appcenter support appium v1.11.0 only.

We discussed this with the Appcenter's (chat) support team and this ticket - is the result of this discussion.

Still, this might be tests technical issue, so im looking forward for your reply to be sure this is not because of Appium v1.11.0 version, but because of my test malfunction.

So

@Zhappa Internally we're running test on Android 10, have you experienced any problems?

Are you able to run them using Appium v1.11.0 or another framework?

My simple test does not have issues with Pixel 4 (with Android 10).
It launches app, taps a button to go to login screen, enters user name and password to login and proceed to home screen.

We're internally testing the latest Appium upgrade and would like your help. If you want to test Appium in version 1.16 in App Center Test, all you have to do is add a --test-parameter pipeline=appium-v1.16.0 switch when submitting your test. If you have problems, please don't hold back and let our support know.

This is works! https://appcenter.ms/orgs/Wontok/apps/Android_3440_WontokGa_Release/test/runs/735b8c2c-2d21-4c2e-b27a-6c95922e1d8e/2-0-10/9e5a2f9b-8577-4ab0-a8a7-5a1e709704c8
I can now contunue with my Android Q devices, thank you!

I will close this ticket when 1.16.0 will be fully on board.

[Oddj0b]

@zhappa Thank you for testing it out.

Appium 1.16 is the default version for all Appium Test runs and the --test-parameter pipeline=appium-v1.16.0 is no longer required.
