= Kobiton 4.26.4S Release Notes
:navtitle: Kobiton 4.26.4S release notes

_Monday, June 15_

== New features and major changes

=== Device-only view for live sessions

View just the device screen during a live session, without the surrounding Kobiton interface. Device-only view hides the sidebars, headers, and panels and sizes the viewport to the device screen. It works for phones and tablets, on Android and iOS, in portrait and landscape.

Device-only view is useful for demos, screen sharing, and observing automation runs.

*Highlights*

- Activate device-only view by adding `&view=device-only` to a live session URL.
- In device-only view, only touches and swipes are sent to the device. Keyboard input is not sent to the device under test.
- A floating exit button ends the session and releases the device. When an Appium session is running, the button instead closes the live view and keeps the automation running.
- For AI-assisted workflows, you can retrieve the live view and the device-only view from the agent during a live session.

*Availability*

Available for in-progress live sessions.

=== Guide AI-driven sessions from device-only view

During an AI-driven session in device-only view, tap or swipe on the device screen to steer the device. The agent observes your touch and swipe input between its scripted commands and acknowledges it.

*Highlights*

- Tap or swipe on the device screen in device-only view to signal intent to the AI agent.
- A new `getUserInputEvents` MCP tool lets the agent read these events.
- Only screen touch and swipe are sent to the device. Keyboard input and other interactions remain disabled in device-only view.

*Availability*

Requires device-only view.

== Python support for Appium Script Generation

Appium script generation now supports Python with the `pytest` framework. To generate a Python script, convert a completed Manual Session to a test case from Session Explorer. Then open the test case, select Generate Script, and choose Python from the language dropdown.

NOTE: This feature requires IQS. Contact your Account Manager for more information.

== Bug fixes and improvements

=== Appium and automation
Comment thread
tungmhoang marked this conversation as resolved.

- Fixed an issue where recorded text-entry steps were omitted from generated Python (pytest) scripts, causing form submissions to run against empty fields.

=== ADB shell

- Fixed an issue where the `am start` command was rejected as an unsupported command when launching protected system apps such as Chrome and Settings.

=== App management

- Fixed an issue where installing an app version whose file had been removed from storage returned an unclear error. Affected versions now return a clear, actionable message.

=== Device management

- Added the OS build number to the device details modal for Android and iOS devices. OS build numbers can be used to differentiate between beta versions of the same operating system release.
- Added an OS build number filter to *Device List* search.

=== MCP server

- Added a `getAppParsingStatus` tool so AI agents can confirm an uploaded app has finished processing before they use it.
- Fixed the `listSessions` tool ignoring the `limit` and `offset` parameters. Agents can now control how many sessions are returned.
- Removed misleading app expiry fields (`expiry_date` and `is_expired`) from `listApps` and `getApp` responses. Uploaded apps remain usable and do not expire.

=== API and CLI

- Improved the error message returned when app signing cannot proceed, replacing a generic server error with a descriptive message.

=== SSO sign-in

- Added a clear error message on the SSO sign-in page when an organization's SSO name is invalid.
