}
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("browserstack.deviceLogs", "false");
desired_cap = {
	'browserstack.deviceLogs': 'false'
}
var capabilities = {
	'browserstack.deviceLogs': 'false',s
}
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("browserstack.deviceLogs", "false");
$capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
$capabilities->setCapability("browserstack.deviceLogs", "Samsung Galaxy S8");
