The .app has had a significant refactor for this release, so I'd like people to give it a try as well. You can download it here.

I have been waiting for 1.3.5 release to use waitForAppScript option but it seems like this is not included in this release.
The server still complains with error: Unrecognized arguments: --waitForAppScript

bootstraponline 2015-01-22 23:53:33 UTC #5

Pretty sure that's a cap and not an arg.

tbao 2015-01-23 01:20:01 UTC #6

sorry, I misunderstood the usage of this cap.

But even I use waitForAppScript as a cap, it still doesn't resolve the issue around this: https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/4178

Appium still does not work in some case if the alert of push notification pops up so early

bootstraponline 2015-01-23 02:50:35 UTC #7

I recommend commenting on that issue then so the devs become aware the problem isn't resolved.

Is new .app having this fix?

@silvernsmile

Can you try manually creating the directory "/Users/admin/.npm/_git-remotes/git-github-com-vojtajina-traceur-compiler-f4c43c65"? The mkdir cmd is where it all goes wrong, looks like.

vijay_kumar 2015-01-27 04:10:30 UTC #11

These release is for window also?

0x1mason 2015-01-27 18:03:52 UTC #12

@vijay_kumar Appium is cross-platform, so any release should work on Windows, OSX, and Linux.

You may be thinking of the GUIs (eg Appium.exe) which provide platform-specific wrappers. The GUIs are maintained separately, so you will have to inquire with the Appium.exe team regarding the ETA.

Christopher_Graham 2015-01-27 20:19:15 UTC #13

I can confirm the issue in bug https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/4178 appears to be uncorrected. I've updated the original bug report.

Mahender_Tirumala 2015-01-28 09:24:43 UTC #14

i find only mac o.s version of 1.3.5 in appium.org site

BDubs 2015-01-28 17:41:06 UTC #15

I installed it in OSX and noticed the settings dialogs are different now and seem to have dark text that is hard to read. Is this a known issue?

sysofadown3 2015-01-28 18:51:59 UTC #16

I did the upgrade successfully but when I start it via command line it show 1.3.4. Do I need to do something else?

Christopher_Graham 2015-01-28 19:52:16 UTC #17

@Brian Agreed, the accessibility of the 1.3.5-beta Appium.app settings dialogs is poor. You have a grey text over a grey background. There's not enough contrast and it's challenging to read.

Logged bug here: https://github.com/appium/appium-dot-app/issues/456

tbao 2015-01-29 00:26:20 UTC #18

I had the same problem and the only way I can install 1.3.5-beta successfully is to uninstall node then reinstall everything. I know it is a bad way but that's all I can do

Mahender_Tirumala 2015-01-30 06:27:10 UTC #19

do we have build for windows as .dmg is for OSX rite?

yehgold 2015-02-04 08:39:27 UTC #20

The mac version has a bug, the iOS dialog is not working, i see the android dialog twice.
when clicking on iOS/ android icon
