Appium: plaform "Android" (upper case) doesn't work for comparation in WebDriver methods

[mirao]

The fix #5107 doesn't work in the WebDriver methods (e.g. in checkOption()) if the config has set platform: "Android" instead of platform: "android"

    helpers: {
        Appium: {
            appiumV2: true,
            platform: "Android",
            ...
        }
    }

Note that the upper case form is allowed according to the docs https://codecept.io/helpers/Appium/#appium and here:

CodeceptJS/lib/helper/Appium.js

Lines 16 to 19 in cef6e01

	const supportedPlatform = {
	android: 'Android',
	iOS: 'iOS',
	}

The platformName is normalized in the WebDriver helper's method _startBrowser, but it's used only if you use WebDriver directly, not when using Appium.

CodeceptJS/lib/helper/WebDriver.js

Lines 626 to 628 in cef6e01

	if (this.browser.capabilities && this.browser.capabilities.platformName) {
	this.browser.capabilities.platformName = this.browser.capabilities.platformName.toLowerCase()
	}

So a solution should be normalization of the attribute in Appium. Adding of config.capabilities.platformName = config.capabilities.platformName.toLowerCase() under this condition (as the 2nd line) helps (advised by Copilot)

CodeceptJS/lib/helper/Appium.js

Lines 267 to 269 in cef6e01

	if (config.capabilities.platformName) {
	this.platform = config.capabilities.platformName.toLowerCase()
	}

A workaround is using platform: "android" instead of platform: "Android" in your CodeceptJS config
