While testing web apps on mobile browsers, you might encounter a ChromeDriver related error:

error: No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome_version

1. To fix this, download the compatible version of ChromeDriver with the Chrome browser version on your testing mobile devices. Download ChromeDriver from the Chromium website.
2. Add the newly downloaded ChromeDriver to the following folders:

   • macOS: go to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-chromedriver/chromedriver/mac (You might need to create the chromedriver/mac subfolder manually).

   • Windows: go to C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-chromedriver\chromedriver\win (You might need to create the chromedriver\win subfolder manually).

3. Navigate to Project Settings > Desired Capabilities > Mobile > Android and add a new capability:

   • Name: chromedriverExecutable

   • Type: String

   • Value: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-chromedriver/chromedriver/mac/chromedriver
