+= Kobiton 4.22 Release Notes
+:navtitle: Kobiton 4.22 release notes
+
+_Nov 22, 2025_
+
+== New hardware support
+
+This release added support for the following:
+
+* Cambrionix ThunderSync3-16 USB Hub
+
+== Appium Turbo Test Execution
+
+[NOTE]
+
+====
+
+* This feature is only available for Cloud/Hybrid customers with Private and Local devices.
+
+* Mixed sessions are not supported for Appium Turbo Test.
+
+====
+
+Appium Turbo Test Execution reduces the Appium client–server communication overhead, enabling scripts to run faster with no code changes. When paired with Xium, Kobiton’s optimized Appium 2 runtime, both iOS and Android tests execute significantly more quickly, delivering meaningful reductions in overall test cycle time.
+
+The user guide for this feature will be available soon.
+
+=== Appium Turbo Test Sample
+
+Try out Appium Turbo Test with our https://kobiton-software.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v4.21.2/TurboTest_updated.zip[sample script].
+
+The sample includes three main folders:
+
+* *TurboTestAndroid* – Contains scripts for Android devices.
+
+* *TurboTestiOS* – Contains scripts for iOS devices.
+
+* *artifacts* – Contains the precompiled .jar and .zip files for both Android and iOS.
+
+You can use the provided test runners to run an Appium Turbo Test Session.
+
+* Locate the test runners at `artifacts/test_runners.zip`. This file include `.jar` files for both Android and iOS tests.
+
+* Upload the test runners to Kobiton and obtain the test runner download URL or test runner ID.
+
+* Find a device in Kobiton and note down its UDID.
+
+* Find an app to test and note down its kobiton store ID or download URL.
+
+* Make the following API requests in your terminal after updating the placeholders with your values.
+
+** *Android*:
++
+[source,bash]
+curl --location '<api_base_url>/v2/sessions/native' \
+--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+--header 'Authorization: Basic <credentials>' \
+--data '{
+"test_framework": "XIUM",
+"test_runner": "<test_runner_url_or_id>",
+"session_name": "A Turbo Test session on Android",
+"session_description": "A session to demo the features of Turbo Test on Android",
+"app": <app>,
+"udid": "<udid>",
+"run_command": "java -jar TurboTestAndroid.jar",
+"execution_mode": "IMMEDIATE"
+}'
+
+** *iOS*:
++
+[source,bash]
+curl --location '<api_base_url>/v2/sessions/native' \
+--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+--header 'Authorization: Basic <credentials>' \
+--data '{
+"test_framework": "APPIUM",
+"test_runner": "<test_runner_url_or_id>",
+"session_name": "A Turbo Test session on iOS",
+"session_description": "A session to demo the features of Turbo Test on iOS",
+"app": <app>,
+"udid": "<udid>",
+"run_command": "java -jar TurboTestiOS.jar",
+"execution_mode": "IMMEDIATE"
+}'
+
+* Download the test report from the URL in the response.
+
+* The test report should contain:
+
+** A `stdout.log` file that captures the output of the run command.
+
+** A `stderr.log` file that captures the error(s) when executing the run command, if any.
+
+** An `output` folder that contains the test log, XML page source, and screenshot of the app under test.
+
+You can modify the test scripts to fit your testing needs. After making changes:
+
+* Recompile the `.jar` files.
+
+* Package them as `.zip` test runners.
+
+* Upload the updated test runners to Kobiton.
+
+== Automatically enable Developer mode for iOS/iPadOS 16 and above
+
+With this release, it is no longer required to enable Developer mode for iOS/iPadOS 16 and above devices before connecting them to the Mac mini host as it will be automatically enabled by deviceConnect.
+
+For iOS/iPadOS 12 to 15, devices still need to have Developer mode enabled manually before connecting to the Mac mini host.
+
+== Scriptless Improvements
+
+* Improved revisit handling of aggressive swiping up on ListView in Android native apps.
+
+* Fixed incorrect bounding box and touch point for tablet devices during Test Case Remediation and Blocker Remediation.
+
+* Fixed cut off screenshot for tablet devices during Blocker Remediation.
+
+* Test management: replace the "Screenshot is not available" picture with the appropriate messages below for test steps that have no screenshot:
+
+** App Install step: shows source, name, and version of the installed app.
+
+** Home screen navigation steps during revisit: shows the message "This interaction was skipped".
+
+** For steps with screenshot capture turned off: shows the message "Screenshot Not Available".
+
+== General improvements and fixes
+
+* Replace the label of the "View Xium logs" button to "View Appium logs".
+
+* Improve color contrast on the Device List and Manual Session page of the Portal to display better on IPS non color-graded monitor.
+
+* Updated Basic Appium server to `2.19.0`
+
+* Biometric Authentication: supported React Native apps on iOS/iPadOS devices.
