Hello.
I'm making the first attempt for a mobile test.
So I'm studying Smartbear's Academy course - TestComplete Mobile Automation Engineer.
I try to run the sample file while watching the video, but I can't access the Appium Server due to the following error.
(For your information, I downloaded the sample file from the site below.
https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/downloads/samples/)
Please Help me..
My Appium Server Information
in TestComplete
The error is a little cryptic.
I would start looking at the device you are trying to connect to and the device you have specified in the capabilities aswell as your ADB setup.
run 'adb devices' in command line client, if your phone has been connected adb, it will show up here but more importantly it will display the correct device name you need to reference in your capabilities.
From here I would compare and see if they match, if they dont use what is found for the device name in your capabilities.
note: if you have not configured the 'adb' environment path, cd to android-sdk/platform-tools/, then run it.

If you do not wish to set up local Appium or if find it too tricky.
Why not use BitBar Appium in TestComplete, its very easy to set up, no local appium server is needed, and to connect to a device is also very easy and straightforward.
Check out the video here in the documentation (you will need a BitBar Trial)

It's going really well as you said. Thank you.
One thing I missed was that I didn't install JDK. After installing JDK, I added JAVA_HOME to the environmental variable, and it works properly.
Finally, the environment should be set up as follows.
1. setup JDK and add Environmental variable "JAVA_HOME"
2. Appium server setup
3. Android Studio setup
4. download and setup the mobile sample from smartbear website
5. connect the mobile phone to my computer.
6. Execute testComplete 15.30
7. Create project suite and project
8. Check the current project properties - Mobile devices > General > Mobile device cloud (BitBar and local Appium)
9. Click "Show Mobile Screen"
10. Input Server URL, Application path, and Parameters (JSON)
11. Finally, I clicked the OK button.

You could also try to increase the "newCommandTimeout": "600"
Increasing the newCommandTimeout from "120" to "600" may allow the needed extra time for the application to load fully on the device.
As you said, I tried to increase the "newCommandTimeout": "600", but the same error occurs.
Please check if I'm doing something wrong.
I worked as follows and I didn't connect the mobile phone to my computer.
1. Appium server setup
2. Android Studio setup
3. download and setup the mobile sample from smartbear website
4. Execute testComplete 15.30
5. Create project suite and project

7. Click "Show Mobile Screen"
8. Input Server URL, Application path, and Parameters (JSON)
9. Finally, I clicked the OK button.
Did I do anything wrong among the activities above?
Please let me know.
Did you follow what I said in my response?
This should have given you a clue about the issue.
Also before running your appium server a device needs to be connected.
If your testing using local appium you will need to connect to a local device or emulator.
Either way this device needs to be specified in the capabilities using the same device name found by the abd
