Appium Config Generator

Use the generator instead of maintaining a copied capability block. It derives examples from the current environment, inventory, application, and key configuration.

Build a configuration​

  1. Choose Android or iOS and the matching automation engine: UiAutomator2 or XCUITest.
  2. Select the application source and build.
  3. Select a specific device or enter compatible device criteria.
  4. Set OS-version matching and optional Device Farm capabilities.
  5. Choose Java, Python, Node.js, or cURL and copy the generated example.

Device Farm capabilities and version matching

The generator can include capabilities such as the API key, OS-version rule, application reference, live view, recording/log options, and timeout when supported by the environment.

Application sources and iOS​

Configured distribution sources can appear alongside MobileHub uploads.

For iOS, choose XCUITest and a package compatible with the target: IPA for a real device, or a supported simulator .app/.zip build.

Protect the generated key

Examples can contain an authentication value. Replace it with a secret-manager reference before committing automation code, and rotate any key that was accidentally exposed.
