   This step is required even if 80 is already indicated as the default port.

4. In the Perfecto Token field, enter the security token you generated for your user.

   To generate a security token

   1. In the Perfecto UI at <YourCloud>.app.perfectomobile.com (where YourCloud is your actual cloud name, such as mobilecloud), click your user name and select My security token. 

      

   2. In the My security token form, click Generate Security Token.

      

   3. Click Copy to clipboard. Then paste it into any scripts that you want to run with Perfecto. 

      

   4. Click Close.

1. In the Perfecto cloud, copy the device ID as follows:

   1. On the device toolbar, click to view device information.

   2. In the dialog box that opens, on the DEVICE tab, copy the device ID.

2. In the Appium Inspector window, on the Desired Capabilities tab, add the deviceNamecapability and paste the device ID into the Value field.

3. In the Perfecto cloud, on the device toolbar, click to copy the session ID.

4. In the Appium Inspector window, on the Desired Capabilities tab, add the deviceSessionIdcapability and paste the session ID into the Value field.

   At this point, the JSON Representation should look similar to the following:

   {
     "deviceName": "9E705A94B8920BB61AE6842FA00E20FC8C12C231",
     "deviceSessionId": "johnd@perforce.com_Interactivesession_19-10-24_15_08_15_19205"}

5. To connect Appium Inspector to the Perfecto device, click Start Session. The device screen appears in Appium Inspector.

   Important: If the connection fails, check your firewall or antivirus setup. Alternatively, try connecting using the Custom Server tab instead, with the following details:

   • Remote Post:<cloudname>.perfectomobile.com
   • Remote Port:443 
   • Remote Path:nexperience/perfectomobile/wd/hub

   If you connect this way, you also need to select the SSL checkbox and add your Perfecto securityToken as a capability.

When Appium Inspector has successfully connected with your Perfecto device, you can inspect the elements of your application:

1. In Perfecto, open the relevant app and navigate to the screen you want to inspect.
2. In Appium Inspector, refresh to view the device screen that is now open in Perfecto.
3. Inspect elements as needed.
