Configure a device with a proxy

You can use Appium or Selenium WebDriver to configure a proxy on the remote Android or iOS device, at the start of your test.

This makes sure that all traffic on the device will go through the external proxy, which can be useful to do geolocation testing or latency testing.

Copy code
desired_caps = {
  'deviceName' => 'Galaxy S8',
  'platformName' => 'Android',
  'platformVersion' => '9.0',
  'app' => 'https://testingbot.com/appium/sample.apk',
  'realDevice' => true
}

# Set up the proxy settings
proxy = {
  'proxyType' => 'manual',  # Proxy type (manual or system)
  'httpProxy' => 'http://your-proxy-server:8080',  # Replace with your HTTP proxy URL
  'sslProxy' => 'http://your-proxy-server:8080',  # Replace with your SSL proxy URL
  'noProxy' => 'localhost,127.0.0.1'  # Optional: bypass proxy for specific hosts
}

# Add proxy to desired capabilities
desired_caps['proxy'] = proxy

# Initialize the Appium driver
driver = Appium::Driver.new({caps: desired_caps}, true)
Copy code
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

        // Set basic capabilities
