      browserstack.idleTimeout

      BrowerStack triggers BROWSERSTACK_IDLE_TIMEOUT error when a session is left idle for more than 90 seconds. This happens as BrowserStack by default waits for the timeout duration for additional steps or commands to run, if we do not receive any command during that time, the session is stopped, changing the session status to TIMEOUT on the dashboard.


      This capability can be used to modify the timeout value.
      0 to 300 seconds

      We have following overriding rules specific to App testing:

      • all the emulator specific capabilities will not work, as your tests will always run against real devices
      • Appium's fullreset capability will not work as we always uninstall the app and clean up the device at the end of each session
      • Appium's platformVersion capability will be ignored
      • The value ANY if given to any parameter is same as the parameter preference not specified.
