AppiumOptions.PlatformVersion does not become available in driver.Capabilities (Appium 5 Beta 3)

[FourTwoOmega]

When I set up my AppiumOptions object, I set AppiumOptions.PlatformVersion because there is an operation I can only do in iOS 15 and later. When I go to retrieve the value with driver.Capabilities.GetCapability("platformVersion") it returns null.

When I examine the driver's list of capabilities (driver.Capabilities.ToString()), platformName is there, but platformVersion is not.

Is there another way to retrieve it, or is this something that needs to be implemented?

As a work-around, I'm setting a different option for it, and this works: appiumOptions.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("platformVersion2", appiumOptions.PlatformVersion);

@FourTwoOmega For me all works fine, using the below set-up. I'm able to get PlatformVersion from both appiumOptions and _driver.Capabilities

var capabilities = new AppiumOptions(); capabilities.DeviceName = "Android Emulator"; capabilities.PlatformName = "Android"; capabilities.AutomationName = "UiAutomator2"; capabilities.App = string.Empty; capabilities.PlatformVersion = "11"; capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.ChromeOptions, chromeOptions); capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption(MobileCapabilityType.NewCommandTimeout, 24 * 60 * 60); capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("wdaStartupRetries", "7"); capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("wdaStartupRetryInterval", "20000");

Maybe you can share more Info. like what Appium Server version you use.
