Test Case Execution on iOS platforms or a Macintosh Computer Fails
Problem: Test case execution on iOS platforms or a Macintosh computer fails with the following error:
“Execution is failing due to incorrect URL formation. Getting an error Original error: Failed to connect to /<VPN_ip_address_of_macintosh_computer>:<port>”
Summary: This issue occurs when the Endpoint Security Firewall settings on the Macintosh computer restricts communication from the Windows computer where the QAS client is installed.
Solution: To resolve this issue you must enable communication between the Computers as follows:
All Computers (in this case 2) should be connected over the same network.
Use VPN to connect all the Computer on same network
Whitelist the following ports in the VPN.
4723 or the port number where the Appium server is running on the Macintosh Computer
21000
8887
8889
4001
Add rules to open TCP and UDP ports from the Endpoint Security Product.
Ensure that both the incoming and the outgoing traffic is allowed.
Ensure that you are connected to the VPN while creating rules using the Endpoint Security products.
Qualitia recommends using VPN generated IP address for secure communication. For example, to execute a test suite on a different Computer, specify the VPN generated IP address of that Computer in the execution profile.
You must refer to the documentation of your Endpoint Security product for instructions to allow communication between Windows and Macintosh Computers.

Getting an issue in MOS session after Uninstalling Older MOS agent and Installing a New MOS Agent due to WDA Dependencies and Installing Newer MOS Agent
Problem: When upgrading MOS agent from any of its previous version, you may face issue in an ongoing MOS or Mobile Recorder session.
Reason: After uninstalling the previous MOS agent and MOS Server on the Macintosh machine, the WDATemp folder is not getting cleaned. Hence, when you install the new MOS agent build, it still uses the older, which causes the problem.
Solution: After installing the new MOS agent on the Macintosh machine, you need to restart the machine. The WDATemp folder is cleaned and the newer WDA dependencies are downloaded.
