@amedvedjev
Please provide capabilities which you pass througt the driver constructor.
Also could you show the map that the method 'driver.getSessionDetails()' returns at your case?

@TikhomirovSergey
here is (removed some sensitive names)

Appium start:
start appium as: [appium, --log-level, error, --port, 4727, --bootstrap-port, 5727, --command-timeout, 90, --session-override]

browserName=xxxxxx

@amedvedjev
Is it browser test? Is there non empty value?

[amedvedjev]

no. it is name of our application. Target name to compile in xCode.
Let say we have app name Tester for prod and Tester_Alpha_1 for some alpha environment. in this case it is Tester_Alpha_1 name.

@amedvedjev
We (I am and @SrinivasanTarget ) are investigating the problem. It may be the critical server side issue that have to be fixed on the server-side. We will update you soon.

Does exist a workaround for this, or should I just go back to Beta1?

[TikhomirovSergey]

@amedvedjev I will propose the workaround today. re-implemented isBrowser method will check only current context for now

@amedvedjev @derunewige
The BET3 was published. Soon it should be available and then you can check it.
