Getting error connecting emulator
Hi I am getting this message when I try to select device in local appium option.
Have you set up the Desired Capabilities? Here's a reference for that:

Can I use local appium server with local emulator or not?
If yes, then why it's saying remote device.
Hi Team, any updates on this please let me know. Because still I am facing this issue.

The error message you posted says "Username and password or apiKey must be defined in Desired Capabilities" but I don't see that in your list of parameters. Fix that and see what happens.
- Marsha_RSince the error is coming from your Appium server, I would try entries for that.
Can you guide me what should I put there, because I couldn't find it on internet.

What have you done so far?
If you guys examine what network connections are being made by TestComplete using something like Fiddler, you can see that it makes NO ATTEMPT to connect to the local appium resource, and in-fact only tries to connect to appium.bitbar.com which also explains why some report a missing request for credentials.
Hopefully this isn't scummy behaviour from smartbear to push people onto their bitbar service...

I imagine there's a default used if no credentials are offered, but if the wrong credentials are entered, then you would get the error message.

I have no question about network settings. The video I have recorded above proves that the error message received from the run is coming from appium.bitbar.com and not the local appium server counter to what has been configured in TestComplete.
