Appium 1 deprecation and migration timeline

Perfecto has updated the Appium 1 end-of-life timeline to provide an extended grace period for migration. Following is the revised plan.

Key dates

• December 21, 2025 – Appium 1 deprecated (end of support)

  • Appium 1 no longer receives regular support.

  • Support team is limited to migration activities, not standard execution issues.

  • Appium 1 executions continue to run temporarily, but migration should remain a priority.

• January 13, 2026 – Appium 1 end of life

  • Appium 1 is disabled for all customers except those granted an extension.

  • Customers requiring an extension must coordinate with Perfecto Support.

• February 23, 2026 – Appium 2.19 set as default

  • Appium 2.19 becomes the default execution engine.

  • Appium 1 executions require explicit enablement via the appiumVersion capability.

What you need to do

• Begin migrating your scripts to Appium 2 as soon as possible.

• Use Appium 2-compatible client libraries:

  • Java: 8+

  • Python: 2+

  • .NET: 5+

  • WebdriverIO: 7+

• For migration guidelines, see:
