How Can I install the app directly from the WEB using Appium Studio?

#1

We Have our App in Hockey.

In Appium i can install app directly from the WEB.
dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, “https://URLToApp”);

If i try the Same with AppiumStudio i get the Error:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error (An unknown server-side error occurred. status=‘false’.

Hi Felix, your code should work - can you share with me in private the URL to the application?

Update

If i Using Appium Studio 11.0.64 to install the App from Web it works.
But if i put the Generated code in to my IDE i get An Error.

If i use
driver.executeScript("client:client.install(\"https://URL-TO-APK\", \"true\", \"false\")");

instead of
driver.installApp("https://URL-TO-APK");

it works.

    DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();

    @BeforeTest

        driver.startActivity("XXXX", "XXXX");
    }

thanks Felix,

I’ve identified the same issue over here and opened a bug (it’s a problem with the code export)

we are about to release 11.2, this will be fixed in the 11.3 or 11.4 release

thanks for the update

Best Regards,

Tom
