30000 |
deviceReadyTimeout |
Timeout in seconds while waiting for device to become ready | 5 |

androidCoverageEndIntent |
A broadcast action implemented by yourself which is used to dump coverage into file system. Passed to -a in adb shell am broadcast -a | com.example.pkg.END_EMMA |
androidDeviceReadyTimeout |

Additional emulator arguments used when launching an avd | e.g., -netfast |
useKeystore |
Use a custom keystore to sign apks, default false |
true or false |
keystorePath |
Path to custom keystore, default ~/.android/debug.keystore | e.g., /path/to.keystore |

keyAlias |
Alias for key | e.g., androiddebugkey |
keyPassword |
Password for key | e.g., foo |

autoWebviewTimeout |
Amount of time to wait for Webview context to become active, in ms. Defaults to 2000 |
e.g. 4 |

dontStopAppOnReset |
Doesn’t stop the process of the app under test, before starting the app using adb. If the app under test is created by another anchor app, setting this false, allows the process of the anchor app to be still alive, during the start of the test app using adb. In other words, with dontStopAppOnReset set to true, we will not include the -Sflag in the adb shell am start call. With this capability omitted or set to false, we include the -S flag. Default false |
true or false |
unicodeKeyboard |
Enable Unicode input, default false |
true or false |
resetKeyboard |
Reset keyboard to its original state, after running Unicode tests with unicodeKeyboard capability. Ignored if used alone. Default false |
true or false |
noSign |
Skip checking and signing of app with debug keys, will work only with UiAutomator and not with selendroid, default false |
true or false |
ignoreUnimportantViews |
Calls the setCompressedLayoutHierarchy()uiautomator function. This capability can speed up test execution, since Accessibility commands will run faster ignoring some elements. The ignored elements will not be findable, which is why this capability has also been implemented as a toggle-able setting as well as a capability. Defaults to false |
true or false |
disableAndroidWatchers |
Disables android watchers that watch for application not responding and application crash, this will reduce cpu usage on android device/emulator. This capability will work only with UiAutomator and not with selendroid, default false |
true or false |
chromeOptions |
Allows passing chromeOptions capability for ChromeDriver. | chromeOptions: {args: ['--disable-popup-blocking']} |
recreateChromeDriverSessions |
Kill ChromeDriver session when moving to a non-ChromeDriver webview. Defaults to false |
true or false |

androidScreenshotPath |
The name of the directory on the device in which the screenshot will be put. Defaults to /data/local/tmp |
e.g. /sdcard/screenshots/ |
autoGrantPermissions |
Have Appium automatically determine which permissions your app requires and grant them to the app on install. Defaults to false |
true or false |
networkSpeed |
Set the network speed emulation. Specify the maximum network upload and download speeds. Defaults to full |
['full','gsm', 'edge', 'hscsd', 'gprs', 'umts', 'hsdpa', 'lte', 'evdo'] |
gpsEnabled |

isHeadless |
Set this capability to true to run the Emulator headless when device display is not needed to be visible. false is the default value. isHeadless is also support for iOS, check XCUITest-specific capabilities. |
e.g., true |
