    Amytav In order to get the mobile browser options on CBT (android, ios etc) you would need to get a device clouds add on for TestComplete. Then you can create a new project where the scalable web tests are enabled. Afterwords, you can simply record your tests the way you would, and modify your workspace after the recording with a "run remote browser" operation. That operation will give you access to the full list of browsers, including the mobile ones. 

    However, it is to my knowledge, that the mobile browser options are not offered within the older cbt-tc integration panel within the project explorer.

We need some more information -

 

What is the test you are running in CrossBrowser?  Seeing the code helps more.

Exactly where in the test does it stop?

Does it stop in that same place every time?

Does it stop in the same browser every time?

Does that test run in TestComplete without CrossBrowser without getting the error?

      Okay, that helps some.  Now if you look in the log, you'll see options for Video and Run Live Test.  Please take a look at those and tell me what the test is trying to do when that timeout occurs.

        Hi Marsha,

        This test has a step which invokes BuiltIn.InputBox method. It is stuck there in the video under the crossbrowser test log. In that case, we need to modify our tests.

        Tried one more test with accessing google.com > search with some text > navigate to web page. That test is working in cross browser test utility but the option to test in Android, IOS browsers is not present (image 1_1). How can we add those options within Testcomplete cross browser utility?
