2. Adjust the recorder’s screen quality

Depending on your network, local environment, or device specifications, Autify may fail to retrieve the screen information from the local mobile device, resulting in an error. Decreasing the recorder’s screen quality may prevent such errors.

Run autify mobile link setup and select 2. Low in the Choose the screen quality for recording: setting.

3. Confirm that your IP address is stable

If your IP address changes periodically, especially during recording, the connection may drop. In such cases, please reconnect as needed.

4. Confirm your Xcode account (iOS device only)

Confirm that your Xcode account is properly configured as outlined in this document. If you don't have the necessary permissions, it will result in an error.

5. Confirm your local device's screen (iOS device only)

Ensure that the local device's screen is unlocked before running the test. If the screen is locked during test execution, an error will occur.

6. Confirm the log file (OPPO device only)

If your recording logs (e.g., recording-1234XXX-appium.log) contain the following error, the issue may be due to permission settings on your OPPO device.

"info: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denial: writing to settings requires:android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"

Try changing your device's settings as follows to resolve the problem and try recording again:

1. Enable Developer Options on the device (external link)
2. In the "Developer Options" or "Security" settings, both switch "Disable Permission Monitoring" to ON and switch "App Permission Monitor" to OFF.
