@kavithamahesh Thanks for trying this out and reporting the issue!

Quick question — when you say "local," do you mean local Appium or local native?

Also, if the logs don't contain any sensitive data, would you be able to share the Appium log from SauceLabs? That would really help with debugging.

Please find the related Appium log

appium (1).log
