Frequently asked questions
How do I configure the server for my own app instead of the Settings demo?
Edit `examples/appium-test.ts`: update `deviceName`, set `app` path to your APK, or specify `appPackage` and `appActivity` for an installed app. Common capabilities include `platformName`, `automationName`, and `noReset`.
What if my device is not found?
Run `adb devices` to confirm the device is connected. Ensure USB debugging is enabled. Try reconnecting the device or restarting the adb server.
Why can't Appium find elements in my app?
Use Appium Inspector to verify your selectors. Check that elements are visible on screen (not off-screen or covered). Try different locator strategies (e.g., XPath, accessibility id).
What causes connection issues with the MCP server?
Verify Appium server is running on the default port, check for port conflicts, and ensure the capabilities (deviceName, platformName) are correctly set in your test configuration.
