Kobiton 4+ latest updates

Kobiton 4.18.3 Release Notes

February 23, 2025

New OS Support

This release adds support for the following:

  • iOS/iPadOS 18.3.1

For iOS/iPadOS 18.3.1:

  • Native XCUITest automation script is currently not supported.

  • (For passcode-enabled organizations only) Starting a manual session on a locked device can leave it stuck on the lock screen. To unlock it, press the power button twice, then swipe up from the bottom of the lock screen.

Scriptless Automation and Mobile Test Management Enhancements

  • Enhanced our Appium script generation feature, making it easier to execute generated scripts on other cloud device platforms, such as BrowserStack, LambdaTest, and Sauce Labs.

Script-based Test Automation Enhancements

  • For passcode-enabled organizations only: Updated the unlock action when running XIUM for iOS devices to fully unlock the device, rather than simulating a power button press. This change aligns XIUM behavior with Basic Appium 2 automation.

General Improvements and Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the iOS/iPadOS Developer Disk Images (DDI) did not automatically remount after an update, resulting in the following error:

    Can't find iOS device <UDID> with BoardID <number> and ChipID <number> in DDI BuildManifest.plist. Xcode may need to be updated.

  • Improve the performance when there are more than four concurrent sessions with video capture enabled.

  • Automatically disable Google Play Protect scanning as it can cause the manual session to become unresponsive for Android devices.
