Getting an error. Be sure to specify the "deviceName" feature in Appium v1.0.0.

Question

I can not run my script on the device or on the simulator. It gives the following error:

error: Could not determine your device from Appium arguments or desired capabilities. 
Please make sure to specify the 'deviceName' capability

It worked previously with Appium v0.18.2, but when I updated it to version 1.0.0 - Orion, it gave this error.

I tried:

[1] capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone Simulator");

[2] capabilities.setCapability("device", "iPhone Simulator");    

[3] capabilities.setCapability("device", "iPhone");  

[4] capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone");  

My other features are set as follows:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "iOS");

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "7.1");

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Mac"); 

capabilities.setCapability("app", "/Users/smriti/Abc.app");

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Where to set this device name. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to specify a device name

capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone Simulator");

and platform name

capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "iOS");

See migration documents and 1.0 desired features

Answer 2

public static void androidSetup() {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.android();
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Samsung");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", System.getProperty("deviceOS"));
        capabilities.setCapability("app", System.getProperty("user.dir") + ".apk file");
        capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "package name");
        capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "Activity name");
        driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
        //driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:" + System.getProperty("environment") + "/wd/hub"), capabilities);

    }

    public static void iosSetup() throws MalformedURLException{
        File classpathRoot = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
        File appDir = new File(classpathRoot, "/build/");
        File app = new File(appDir, ".ipa file");
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName","iOS");
        capabilities.setCapability("udid","2dc3bf20559d41565d9f1fd08f738183d9a54ead");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "8.4");
        capabilities.setCapability("bundleId","com.xyz");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Brattys");
        capabilities.setCapability("app", app.getAbsolutePath());
        driver = new IOSDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
    }
