Appium Config Generator

Generate Appium/WebDriver capabilities for automated testing with Device Farm.

Overview

The Config Generator helps you create Appium capabilities for connecting to Device Farm. It generates code examples in multiple languages with proper authentication.

Server URL

Use this URL as your Appium server endpoint:

https://api.rabbitqa.com/df/wd/hub

This endpoint supports the standard WebDriver protocol and is compatible with Appium clients in all languages.

Device Farm Capabilities

In addition to standard Appium capabilities, Device Farm supports these custom capabilities:

Capability	Type	Default	Description
df:apiKey	string	-	API key for authentication (required)
df:deviceId	string	-	Specific device ID (or use appium:udid)
df:resign	boolean	true	Re-sign iOS apps before install
df:liveView	boolean	false	Enable live video streaming during automation
df:recordVideo	boolean	false	Record video of the test
df:recordLogs	boolean	true	Capture device logs during test

App Installation

Use df:// URLs to install apps from your uploaded files:

{
  "appium:app": "df://file-uuid-here"
}

The file ID can be found in the Files section or by using the Config Generator which shows your uploaded apps.

Platform Version Matching

Use wildcards for flexible version matching:

platformVersion	Matches	Does NOT match
"13"	13	13.0, 13.0.1, 14
"13.0"	13.0	13, 13.0.1, 13.1
"13.*"	13, 13.0, 13.0.1, 13.1	14, 12.x
"17.1.x"	17.1, 17.1.0, 17.1.2	17, 17.0, 17.2

Tips

tip

df:// URLs Use df://fileId in appium:app to install uploaded apps automatically.

tip

iOS Re-signing Set df:resign: false if your IPA is already signed with the correct profile.

tip

Device Selection Use df:deviceId or appium:udid for specific device, or leave empty for auto-selection.

tip

Auto Bundle ID If you provide appium:app, we'll extract and set bundleId/appPackage automatically.
