Supported Appium Versions
Customize your testing experience on LambdaTest by selecting the appropriate Appium version for your tests on real devices. LambdaTest offers flexibility in choosing the Appium version to meet your testing requirements. By default, the suitable Appium version is selected based on the operating system (OS) when running tests. However, you can explicitly specify the version using the appiumVersion capability in your test scripts.
Appium Version Configuration
To configure the Appium version for your tests on LambdaTest, use the appiumVersion capability in your test scripts. Below is a table of supported Appium versions for different platforms:
| Platform | Appium Versions Supported |
