Simillarly how I will get device name and version of app. I tried with following but no use

driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("deviceName");
driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("appVersion");

Answer 1

Using Adb

To get Device Name

adb.exe -s " +deviceID+ " shell getprop ro.product.model

To get Device OS Version

adb.exe -s " +deviceID+ " shell getprop ro.build.version.release

To get App Version

adb -s " +deviceID+ " shell dumpsys package yourPackageName | grep versionName

Answer 2

driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("deviceName").toString();
driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("CapabilityType.VERSION").toString();

This will return you the device name and OS version as set in desired capabilities. If you want to get device information before creating driver or at run time (to check correct information of connected device) then you have to use the following to get device OS version. (adb for android and instruments for iOS)

For android -

adb -s " + deviceID + " shell getprop ro.build.version.release

For iOS -

instruments -s devices

Store the output from above command in String array and retrieve required information.
