No element identification for Android 6 in Ranorex 9.2.0?

[uschumac]

Hi,

after switching from 9.1.1 to 9.2.0, element identfication is no longer possible for my Nexus 5 (Android 6.0.1). Are there any other users experiencing this issue? Are all Android 6 devices affected or is it just a problem in my configuration?

(I reinstalled 9.1.1 and it works like charm again.)


Thanks for your input!

Hi,

Have you re-instrumented the app with 9.2?

[uschumac]

Yes, several times (using the wizard and command line).

Hi,

In this case, I think this is something that should be investigated by Ranorex folks. I would suggest to contact them via support form available here:

Hi again,

as a matter of fact, I already did. They told me that it is not possible to support Android versions in Ranorex that are not even supported by Google anymore.
So I try to reach out to the Ranorex community to find out whether I am the only one having this problem or not.
Maybe there is even someone that uses an Android 6 device in Ranorex 9.2.0 successfully.

I see. Well, then your only hope is most probably to use older Ranorex for Android 6 devices? What's interesting though is that this breaking change is not mentioned in 9.2 release notes? I think it should definitely be mentioned somewhere.
