local appium server and the bitbar_findDevice parameter error

Hi I have a problem, when I try to test a mobile application with Test Complete.

 

I have a local appium server with UIAutomator, so I am not using BitBar and when I try to connect to my device I have the following error:

 

All non-standard capabilities should have a vendor prefix. The following capabilities did not have one:bitbar_findDevice

 

 

 

The problem is that Test complete send bitbar_findDevice parameter by itself without the vendor prefix so there is no way to avoid it even if I add the following

"appium:bitbar_findDevice":false

I still get this error.

 

But those parameters works with the inspector application

    I guess that the problem is due to the appium server version. the appium 2.0.0beta66 is not compatible with test complete.

    reading this blog https://www.headspin.io/blog/migrating-to-appium-2-0-part-1-capability-prefixes

    I guess that I have to try to downgrade to the last appium V1.xx

     

    Can someone confirm if appium 2.0 is compatible with testComplete?

     

    Many thanks
