- 28. Starting Appium Server FromSource: From Terminal run the following commands > brew install node # get node.js > npm install -g appium # get appium > npm install wd # get appium client > appium & # start appium From GUI Interface: > Make required configurations from GUI > Click Launch button to launch appium server
- 29. Running with RealDevices Specify device UDID with appium server arguments or with the GUI version Compile source of AUT in debug mode AUT must be compiled with a Developers Signature and a Developer Provisioning profile(Not Distribution type) Device must be authorized as a development device with xcode Specify Bundle ID with appium after installing the ipa or running the AUT project directly to device
